A former Uvalde police officer who was part of the force during its botched response to the 2022 mass shooting at Robb Elementary School, Adrián González, pleaded not guilty to criminal charges over his actions.
Concretely, González was charged with abandoning and failing to protect the children who were killed and wounded in the shooting, as he was part of the almost 400 officers who waited for over an hour to confront the shooter, 19-year-old Salvador Ramos.
