STORYLINE:
A criminal investigation in Texas over the hesitant police response to the Robb Elementary School shooting is still ongoing as Wednesday marks one year since a gunman killed 19 children and two teachers inside a fourth-grade classroom in Uvalde.

A community prayer vigil was held Wednesday afternoon and Pastor Tony Gruben said the community needs God's help.

"Because this is bigger than me. It's bigger than you, it's bigger than us all. But it's not bigger than God. And he will be here to hold us, to lift us up and to carry us. And lead us on, " Gruben said.

The continuing probe underlines the lasting fallout over Texas' deadliest school shooting and how the days after the attack were marred by authorities giving inaccurate and conflicting accounts about efforts made to stop a teenage gunman armed with an AR-style rifle.

The investigation has run parallel to a new wave of public anger in the U.S. over gun violence, renewed calls for stricter firearm regulations and legal challenges over authorities in Uvalde continuing to withhold public records related to the shooting and the police response.
