The three-member committee — state Rep. Dustin Burrows, R-Lubbock, the chairman; state Rep. Joe Moody, D-El Paso; and former Supreme Court Justice Eva Guzman — will visit Robb Elementary before convening at city hall to interview witnesses behind closed doors in a daylong, secretive meeting. Reporters again will be sent outside to wait.
The committee will speak with two Robb Elementary teachers, Yvette Silva and Mercedes Salas, and three Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District officers: Lt. Mike Hernandez and Officers Ruby Gonzalez and Adrian Gonzales.Uvalde police officers were the first to arrive on the scene of the May 24 massacre, pursuing Salvador Ramos into the school just two minutes after Ramos entered through an unlocked back door toting an assault-style rifle.
Ramos entered classrooms 111 and 112, locking the door behind him. After Ramos fired through the door, grazing two officers, the Uvalde police officers decided to fall back and not force entry.
