The Texas House committee pushed for the 77-minute videotape to be released to the public, and the Department of Public Safety wanted to release the video as well, saying it would promote transparency without interfering with investigations.
Uvalde County District Attorney Christina Mitchell Busbee objected to releasing the video and instructed the DPS to keep it confidential as investigations continued.
The video that the House committee will make available to families and the public Sunday will not include footage of the gunman walking into the school and the view from the hallway of the gunman firing his way into the classrooms. The video the Statesman obtained includes that footage.
