UVALDE, Texas — Law enforcement was criticized for its response to the mass shooting at Robb Elementary in Uvalde, Texas.
Fifteen months before the school shooting that claimed the lives of 19 children and two teachers in Uvalde, Texas, the embattled school district police chief mentioned during a city school board meeting some of the security issues that investigators have found played critical roles in the failures connected with the May 24 massacre.
He also said doors were left open so routinely that he and the Uvalde city police had a standing arrangement for dealing with it. "For example, open doors that they find throughout the night, I'll handle with the respective campus. You know, you got some open doors please handle with your staff, anything that happens obviously," Arredondo said.
