Uvalde schools officer did nothing until it was too late during shooting, prosecutor says

Adrian Gonzales faces 29 charges for alleged inaction during the 2022 Robb Elementary shooting that killed 19 children and 2 teachers, marking a rare law enforcement prosecution.

  • On Tuesday, opening statements began in Corpus Christi, Texas, where Adrian Gonzales, former Uvalde schools officer, faces 29 counts of child endangerment under an indictment.
  • The indictment alleges Adrian Gonzales put children in `imminent danger` by failing to engage the shooter despite a teacher pointing his location, while state and federal reviews cited training and communication failures.
  • Prosecutors highlighted haunting 911 calls Tuesday that provoked cries among families of victims as testimony focused on the gunman killing 19 students and two teachers at Robb Elementary School, Uvalde, Texas.
  • Prosecutors likely will face a high bar as families of students, FBI agents and Texas Rangers are expected to testify, while only Adrian Gonzales and Pete Arredondo face charges despite nearly 400 federal, state and local officers converging on scene.
  • The case is a rare prosecution for officer inaction, as 77 minutes elapsed before a tactical team breached the classroom and killed Salvador Ramos, with state and federal reviews flagging systemic failures.
