ORIGINAL STORY
UVALDE, Texas— Activists from Lives Robbed protested Tuesday outside the Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District administration building on Tuesday, demanding a thorough investigation into Robb Elementary's school resource officers.
Protesters stood outside, refusing to allow anyone to enter the offices until their requests are met.
They are demanding that Uvalde CISD investigate its officers involved in the response to the May 24 school massacre, specifically naming Dr. Hal Harrell, superintendent of the school district.

In a tweet posted Saturday, exactly four months after the mass shooting, Lives Robbed provided a statement saying they have traveled to Washington, D.C. at least three times, attended "countless" amounts of school board and city council meetings, and some face an upcoming expiration date of their FMLA leave.
"We are tired. Today we rest, tomorrow we pick up the fight," ended their statement.
Other efforts have been made by impacted families and friends, such as the parents of Lexi Rubio, Kimberly and Felix Rubio, meeting with Sen. Ted Cruz, asking for his support for a federal assault weapons ban, something of which he declined.
The first tweet from Lives Robbed shows the activists arrived by around 7:35 a.m. Tuesday. As of 9:15 a.m., the group said they still have not received answers.

According to the Preventative Security Measures list provided by the district, Uvalde CISD employs four police officers, including a chief and a detective. Uvalde CISD also has a partnership with local law enforcement. The list does not specify if the aforementioned measures are applied to every school in the district, or the district as a whole.
