It comes more than two years after a teenage gunman killed 19 students and two teachers at Robb Elementary School.
Pete Arredondo, the former police chief of the Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District, is in custody more than two years after the 2022 Robb Elementary School shooting.Arredondo was in custody at the Uvalde County Jail, CBS News learned. The San Antonio Express-News reported that Arredondo and a second officer who responded to the shooting were indicted by a grand jury on felony charges of child endangerment.
Law enforcement officers killed the gunman in a classroom after waiting more than an hour to confront him, which was heavily criticized in the wake of the shooting. Arredondo was fired in 2022, three months to the day of the shooting.The Justice Department released a hard-hitting report in Janurary on the response by law enforcement to the mass shooting, pointing to a series of 'cascading failures' by the police chief and others.
