The former Uvalde school police chief is charged with child endangerment in the Robb Elementary massacre. He wants the charges tossed. The DA argues otherwise.
Once Pedro 'Pete' Arredondo knew children at Robb Elementary School were in danger, he was legally obligated to mount an 'urgent intervention' to protect them, Uvalde County prosecutors argue in court papers. Arredondo was chief of the Uvalde school district police force on May 24, 2022, the day a teenage gunman slaughtered 19th fourth-graders and two teachers at the school.
Did Uvalde first responders lack courage or the necessary equipment? Earlier this month, Arredondo's lawyer asked a judge to toss the indictment, contending it was legally defective and failed to acknowledge that the children were put in peril by the shooter, not by anything Arredondo did. Responding on Friday with a court filing of their own, prosecutors asserted that 'when a child is in imminent danger, the awareness of that situation demands action.
