Austin District Attorney José Garza stated his office will not seek charges against police officers who responded to a deadly nightclub shooting, amid what he characterized as false claims about the investigation.

The officers have been described as heroes for their actions in stopping the mass shooting incident. However, their response is subject to a mandatory grand jury review process, which has drawn criticism and apparently generated confusion about the DA's intentions.

"These officers are heroes, and it should go without saying that my office is not seeking any charges and would not seek charges," Garza said in a statement. He dismissed contrary accounts as "false, intentionally false, and are being peddled for obvious political purposes."

The grand jury review appears to be a procedural requirement rather than an indication that charges are being considered. The DA's clarification comes amid what appears to be political criticism of the review process.

Details about the specific nightclub incident, including the number of casualties and circumstances of the shooting, were not provided in the available statements. The officers' actions in stopping the shooter have been publicly praised as life-saving.
