How charges against former Uvalde CISD offices sets bar for future cases
Former Uvalde CISD Police Chief Pete Arredondo and then-school officer Adrian Gonzales were among the first on scene when a gunman opened fire in a classroom full of students and teachers.
But, he says, the Uvalde County District Attorney's Office found a way to circumvent qualified immunity through the specific offenses cited in the two indictments. Arredondo and Gonzales were charged with injury to a child. "These officers better get a good defense lawyer," he added."Because the train has left the station, and they are standing on the track."
Arredondo faces 10 counts, each accounting for a surviving student who was in the classroom with the gunman. Gonzales, meanwhile, is charged with 29 counts, accounting for those survivors as well as the 19 children who were killed. , saying:"I think a more accurate charge could be injury to a child because omission could be done in a reckless manner. The fact they did not act could also have been in a reckless manner.
