Uvalde school officials have suspended the district’s entire police department, saying new developments “uncovered additional concerns”
“The District has made the decision to suspend all activities of the Uvalde CISD Police Department for a period of time. Officers currently employed will fill other roles in the district,” the district said in a statement. Additionally, Lt. Miguel Hernandez and Ken Mueller have been placed on administrative leave, with Mueller electing to retire, according to the statement.
” The moves come in the wake of a CNN report Wednesday which identified newly hired Uvalde school officer Crimson Elizondo as one of the state troopers under investigation for her actions during the response to the Robb Elementary School massacre in May. The school district issued a statement on Thursday, following CNN’s report, announcing Elizondo’s termination. Elizondo was one of the first of the 91 DPS officers to arrive at the school that day.
