The Uvalde Police Department and the Uvalde Unbiased College District police force are not cooperating with the Texas Department of Public Safety's investigation into the massacre at Robb Elementary School and the state's overview of the legislation enforcement response, a number of law enforcement sources inform ABC Information.

The Uvalde police chief and a spokesperson for the Uvalde Independent School District did not immediately reply to requests for comment from ABC News.
