UVALDE, Texas — A former Uvalde, Texas, school police officer who was part of the slow law enforcement response to the 2022 mass shooting at Robb Elementary School pleaded not guilty during a court appearance Thursday.
Adrian Gonzales was one of the nearly 400 law enforcement personnel who responded to the scene but then waited more than 70 minutes to confront the shooter inside the school. He's scheduled to be arraigned in the small Texas town on charges of abandoning and failing to protect children who were killed and wounded. Some families have spent more than two years pressing for officers to face charges after 19 children and two teachers were killed inside the fourth grade classroom.
The May 22, 2024, attack was one of the worst school shootings in U.S. history. The police response has been heavily criticized in state and federal investigations that described “cascading failures" in training, communication and leadership among officers who waited outside the building while some victims lay dying or begging for help.
