Former Uvalde school police chief Pete Arredondo arrested 2 years after Robb Elementary School shooting
SUMMARY
Former Uvalde school police chief Pete Arredondo was arrested more than two years after the 2022 Robb Elementary School shooting. He faces 10 counts of child endangerment following indictments by a grand jury, alongside another officer. The shooting, where a teenage gunman killed 19 students and two teachers, prompted criticism of law enforcement's delayed response. Arredondo was fired three months after the incident. The arrest marks a step forward for victims' families seeking justice, despite ongoing scrutiny of law enforcement's handling. In May, families reached a $2 million settlement with Uvalde. The Justice Department's report highlighted failures in responding to the tragedy.
