Pete Arredondo, the former police chief of the Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District, was charged with abandoning and endangering a child individual.
Former Uvalde School District Police Chief Pete Arredondo was arrested Thursday in connection with an investigation into the police response to the Robb Elementary School shooting.
The first criminal charges have been filed over the law enforcement response to the Robb Elementary School shooting, more than two years after the deadly event.
An indictment alleges Pete Arredondo failed to identify an active shooting, did not follow his training and made critical decisions that slowed the law enforcement response to stop a gunman who was “hunting” victims in Uvalde, Texas.
