The Texas Department of Public Safety fired an officer Friday who was at the scene of the Uvalde school massacre and becomes the first member of the state police force to lose their job in the fallout over the hesitant response to the May attack.
The department served Sgt Juan Maldonado with termination papers, spokeswoman Ericka Miller said. No details were offered about his role at the scene of the 24 May shooting at Robb Elementary School or the specific reason Maldonado was fired.
