It's left residents in the small city of Uvalde struggling to reconcile what they know of the well-liked local lawman after the director of state police said that the commander at the scene — Pete Arredondo — made the “wrong decision” last week not to breach a classroom at Robb Elementary School sooner, believing the gunman was barricaded inside and children weren’t at risk.
The 50-year-old Arredondo has spent much of a nearly 30-year career in law enforcement in Uvalde, returning in 2020 to take the head police job at the school district. Juan Torres, a U.S. Army veteran who was visibly upset with reports coming out about the response, said he knew Arredondo from high school.
At a candidates’ forum before his election, Arredondo said: “I guess to me nothing is complicated. Everything has a solution. That solution starts with communication. Communication is key.” Arredondo started out his career in law enforcement working for the Uvalde Police Department. After spending 16 years there, he went to Laredo, a border city located 130 miles miles to the south, where he worked at the Webb County Sheriff's Office and then for a local school district, according to a 2020 article in the Uvalde Leader-News on his return to his hometown to take the school district police chief job.
Nothing more to study or understand. Does not happen in any other developed country. I say we vote every Republican in Congress out. They have proved time and time again that they are not going to do anything. VOTE BECAUSE YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT!!!

Biden visits Uvalde, Texas, to mourn with community after 21 killed in school shooting | CBC NewsU.S. President Joe Biden and his wife, Jill Biden, are hoping to console a city stricken by grief and anger when they meet with families affected by the mass shooting at a Texas elementary school that killed 19 students and two teachers. Christ! He's not comforting anyone. It boggles my mind why the CBC would assert as fact something that is subjective and vague. He only forgot that he went the first time. And yet he never did visit the people involved in the Christmas parade truck attack that killed six and hurt 30 other white people. Was it because the driver was black?
