A former Uvalde school police officer involved in the law enforcement response to the 2022 mass shooting at Robb Elementary School is set to appear in court for the first time on Thursday. Adrian Gonzales, along with former Uvalde schools police Chief Pete Arredondo, was indicted by a Uvalde grand jury in June.
Gonzales, who was among the first officers to arrive at the scene, is facing 29 charges for allegedly failing to confront the shooter despite hearing gunshots. Arredondo, who was the on-site commander that day, is charged with 10 counts of abandoning or endangering a child for decisions that slowed the police response to the active shooter.
