In Texas, the former Uvalde schools police chief and another former officer have been indicted over their role in the botched response to the 2022 massacre at Robb Elementary School. Pete Arredondo, the former Uvalde schools police chief, and Adrian Gonzales, a former officer, were charged Thursday with multiple counts of felony child endangerment and abandonment. Arredondo was fired three months after the mass shooting. Three hundred seventy-six law enforcement officers responded to the mass shooting that day, but it took 77 minutes for anyone to enter the classroom where the gunman was slaughtering children. Nineteen children were killed, as well as two teachers.
