UVALDE, TX., (WPBN/WGTU) -- Texas residents have expressed anger at law enforcement's response to the Uvalde elementary school shooting.

Law enforcement allegedly handcuffed a woman who was upset at law enforcement's response to the shooting, according to a report from the Wall Street Journal interviewing Uvalde residents.

"The police were doing nothing," said Angeli Rose Gomez. "They were just standing outside the fence. They weren't going in there or running anywhere."

Gomez was then put into handcuffs for "intervening in an active investigation," WSJ reported.

Gomez also said she saw other parents being thrown to the ground and pepper-sprayed by law enforcement.

The Wall Street Journal also reported Gomez alleging she saw a police use a taser on a father who approached a school bus in an effort to get into contact with his child.
