Local officials will hold a press conference Thursday at 1 p.m. Central time to address law enforcement's response to a school shooting Tuesday in Uvalde that left 19 children and two teachers dead.

Authorities also revealed that 17 more people were injured in the rampage.
On Thursday, USA Today reported that officials were conducting an investigation into the police's response .
