A press release obtained by KENS 5 thoroughly chronicles events leading up to an investigation performed by the Uvalde Police Department and the Texas Rangers.

Investigators also believe the students were planning to hold the attacks years from now during their senior year, on the anniversary of the Columbine shooting. However, one of the students began to convince the other that they should move the attacks up to this year.

EDITOR'S NOTE: There has been renewed interest in this 2018 story following the May 24, 2022, attack at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde. Texas DPS Director Steven McCraw said during a news conference on May 27, 2022, that there is no connection between the 2018 incident and the 2022 shooting. He said the Robb Elementary shooter is not the same person as the 13-year-old or 14-year-old referenced in the 2018 police report.
