Families who lost loved ones in the Robb Elementary School shooting in Uvalde, Texas, said the Thursday arrest of former school district police chief Pete Arredondo is not a “happy moment” and are calling for more indictments.
Arredondo, 52, was arrested on an indictment charging him with 10 counts of abandoning/endangering a child in connection with the May 24, 2022, school shooting that killed 19 children and two teachers.
Those 10 counts are in connection with schoolchildren who survived the shooting, but experienced delays in receiving care and protection.
A second officer was also indicted on multiple similar charges, according to a parent of one of the slain children, who asked not to be identified.
He said the charges were a good step, calling it “a very emotional day for me.”“I don’t think it’s enough,” he said.
