Uvalde locals grapple with school chief’s role

A school building stands behind a tree with an American flag and crime scene tape at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas A school building stands behind a tree with an American flag and crime scene tape at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas THE BLAME FOR an hour’s delay in killing the gunman at a Texas primary school — even as parents outside begged police to rush in and panicked children called 911 from inside — has been put on the school district’s homegrown police chief.

The 50-year-old 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. 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.”

McCraw said pupils and teachers had repeatedly begged 911 operators for help while Arredondo told more than a dozen officers to wait in a corridor. Ray Garner, the police chief of the district in Laredo where Arredondo worked, told the San Antonio Express-News in a story published after the Uvalde shooting that when Arredondo worked in the Laredo district he was “easy to talk to” and was concerned about the pupils.“Down here, we do a lot of training on active-shooter scenarios and he was involved in those.”

On bad intel they stopped parents entering to save their children, handcuffed them and drew tasers. Can you imagine that?
