The Uvalde school district police chief Pedro “Pete” Arredondo is facing tough questions over the handling of the law enforcement response to last week’s mass shooting at Robb Elementary School in the Texas town, where 19 children and two teachers were murdered by teen gunman Salvador Ramos.
Ramos snuck into the school by an unlocked rear door and barricaded himself inside a classroom for over an hour, in which time he picked off his victims, some of whom used their phones to call 911 pleading for help while officers gathered outside the room awaiting the order to intervene.
