A grand jury has indicted former Uvalde schools police chief Pete Arredondo and former officer Adrian Gonzales over their roles in the delayed police response to the 2022 Robb Elementary School shooting, which resulted in the deaths of 19 children and two teachers. The indictments, confirmed by multiple sources including the Uvalde Leader-News and CNN, charge both individuals with multiple counts of felony child endangerment and abandonment. These indictments mark the first criminal charges in the case and follow intense pressure from victims' families and a damning Department of Justice report citing significant failures in law enforcement's response. The indictments remain sealed until the officers surrender, and they face up to two years in jail and a $10,000 fine if convicted. This development represents a significant step toward accountability for the botched response, which saw officers waiting over an hour before confronting the shooter.
