CNN: Uvalde school cop was told where gunman was before he got into school building
Officer Adrian Gonzales faces 29 counts of child endangerment for waiting over a minute to enter Robb Elementary despite early knowledge of the shooter’s location, prosecutors say.
- Officer Adrian Gonzales, the first Uvalde school police officer to arrive, reached Robb Elementary around 11:32 a.m., about 20 seconds before the gunman fired at the fourth-grade wing, CNN analysis found.
- Prosecutors charged Gonzales with 10 counts of child endangerment alleging he failed to recognize an active shooting and intervene, and Gonzales's lawyer, Nico LaHood, says he is innocent and will contest the evidence.
- Evidence from surveillance, body camera, and radio indicates Gonzales broadcast 'shots fired' at 11:32 a.m. and entered a hallway behind another officer at 11:35 a.m.
- This week in Corpus Christi, Gonzales's actions will be central as prosecutors plan to introduce the analyzed evidence and jurors must decide whether his alleged failures were criminal while the Uvalde County District Attorney resists releasing information.
- The prosecution, one of only two of its kind, draws Parkland comparisons as new evidence could devastate bereaved families in Uvalde more than three-and-a-half years later.
