A Texas judge has ruled against dismissing criminal charges brought against the former Uvalde schools police chief, Pete Arredondo, for his alleged involvement in the 2022 Robb Elementary School shooting. The incident, which resulted in the tragic deaths of nineteen children and two teachers, has raised questions about the police response on that fateful day.
Arredondo, who pleaded not guilty to 10 counts of abandoning or endangering a child, faces accusations of delaying the police response by not following active shooter training protocols. The indictment alleges that his decisions led to critical delays in confronting the gunman, who was actively targeting victims inside the school.
