AROUND THE COUNTRY UVALDE, TX. Former Uvalde ISD Police Chief Pete Arredondo and a second school officer were both charged with child endangerment in the Uvalde school shooting response. BY ALEJANDRO SERRANO, The Texas Tribune A pair of indictments released Friday, levied multiple state jail felony charges of child endangerment against former Uvalde schools police Chief Pete Arredondo and one of his former officers for their response to the 2022 Robb Elementary School shooting.

Arredondo also failed to determine if the door to one of the classrooms where children remained with the shooter was locked and failed to provide keys and breaching tools to get 54 The Blues - July ‘24
