Disgraced ex-Uvalde school police chief, former officer arrested for botched response to mass shooting that killed 21
Two former Uvalde school police officers — including disgraced ex-Chief Pete Arredondo — were arrested Thursday for their botched response to the 2022 shooting that left 21 dead.
Arredondo and former Officer Adrian Gonzales were indicted by a grand jury for the felony charges of abandoning and endangering a child, Uvalde District Attorney Christina Mitchell told the Uvalde Leader-News.
The indictments mark the first criminal charges filed in the school massacre.
