The former Uvalde, Texas, schools police chief made his first court appearance on Monday in connection with the law enforcement response to the 2022 Robb Elementary School shooting. Pete Arredondo, who allegedly served as the incident commander, faced scrutiny for his role in a response that resulted in the tragic deaths of 19 students and two teachers.
Arredondo's attorneys filed a motion to dismiss the charges, arguing that he should not be held accountable for actions he did not take during the incident. The judge did not issue a ruling on the motion during Monday's court proceedings.
