Uvalde school police chief indicted over mass shooting

The former school police chief of Uvalde, Texas has been indicted on child endangerment charges over his role in responding to the Robb Elementary School shooting in May 2022.

Pete Arredondo was indicted by a Uvalde grand jury on Thursday, according to the San Antonio Express-News. Adrian Gonzales, a former officer who was also indicted, and Arredondo are facing charges of abandoning/endangering a child, a state felony.

Arredondo and Gonzales are the first law enforcement officials to be charged over what many considered to be a failed response to the massacre on 24 May 2022 that left 19 fourth graders and two educators dead.
