- A former officer who was among the initial responders to the school massacre in Uvalde, Texas, pleaded not guilty to over two dozen criminal charges on Thursday. Adrian Gonzales, a former police officer of the Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District, is facing 29 counts of abandonment and endangerment of children in relation to the May 2022 tragedy that resulted in the deaths of 19 children and two teachers.
- Gonzales and the former police chief of Uvalde schools, Pete Arredondo, are currently the only law enforcement officials indicted on criminal charges. According to Gonzales' indictment, the former officer failed to adhere to his active shooter training. Gonzales mentioned being at the high school when he heard about a vehicle accident near Robb Elementary and went to investigate.
- While the perpetrator freely moved within the school, Gonzales stated that he spent a significant amount of time waiting outside the west door with emergency medics. He mentioned discovering a set of keys and a school layout requested by a Texas Ranger on-site. Gonzales, hired by the Uvalde school district in July 2021, departed from the department in February 2023.
- Arredondo, acting as the de facto incident commander at the scene, is facing 10 charges of child endangerment and proven criminal negligence. Arredondo was terminated by the Uvalde school board three months following the shooting. Records from the Uvalde County Jail indicate that both Arredondo and Gonzales were released on a $10,000 bond.
