Uvalde mayor now insists police chief DIDN'T lie about massacre

The mayor of Uvalde, has hit back at claims that local law enforcement lied about their initial response to last week's deadly school shooting, after the state's lieutenant governor accused cops of dishonesty.

'Statements by Lt. Governor Dan Patrick that he was 'not told the truth' are not true,' Mayor Don McLaughlin told on Monday. 'The victim's families deserve answers, and the truth will be told.'

The mayor said he has asked the federal Department of Justice to conduct its own investigation into the shooting and police response, saying: 'If there's holes, or we made a mistake, I want to be as transparent as we can.'
