hello again, everyone. thank you so much for joining me this sunday. i m fredricka whitfield. we re following breaking news on a damning new report with heartbreaking details into the massacre at robb elementary school in uvalde, texas. the report just released by the texas house investigative committee found systemic failures and egregious poor decision making by multiple entities including law enforcement, the school and the shooter s family. the report also says the attacker likely murdered most of the victims before responders were able to get to the school. 19 children and two teachers were killed in may when an 18-year-old gunman broke into the school and opened fire. we are joined now from uvalde, texas. this is the first we re hearing now in this report that in this fact-finding report that the committee believes that most of those 18 children and two teachers killed were killed before the first responders got there even though in the surveillance video you can hear r
