A Uvalde police lieutenant, the acting chief of the city police department on the day of the shooting, has been suspended. It's the first sign of official fallout after a newly released state report found police disregarded their active-shooter training.

The House report was the first so far to criticize the inaction of state and federal law enforcement, while other reports and public accounts placed the blame squarely on Uvalde schools police Chief Pete Arredondo, for his role as incident commander, and other local police who were among the first to arrive.

Uvalde schools police Chief Pete Arredondo, one of the first to arrive at the scene, told The Texas Tribune in June that he did not consider himself the incident commander. But an active shooter plan, which Arredondo co-wrote, states the chief will “become the person in control of the efforts of all law enforcement and first responders that arrive at the scene.

Suspended? Pretty sure this shitstorn requires firings all around!

400 police officers at Uvalde Robb Elementary was in fear of confronting a single gunman. That’s a 927% increase in firepower then a Marine Corps PLATOON that consists of 39 warfighters. 🤬

State report released by a member of the TxLege! He’s responsible for such lax laws! They are the problem.

Let's put it this way: The Tx Leg can blame the local cops all they want BUT... For the first few minutes of this nightmare in which this kid strolls into the school casually with that gun? The blame falls SQUARELY on the Tx Leg themselves.

The Legislature can blame the local cops all they want. This NEVER should have happened. But....the Tx Leg ALWAYS votes for this kid to have that gun on that date. ALWAYS. They need to look at their own actions as well.

They can pick and choose at random which officer to throw under the bus for this despicable betrayal, however, that's just a smoke screen to defend the force larger than the one defending the alamo which showed cowardice. Instead of writing reports, every officer should be fired

About time

Don't police have mobile robots that have cameras and rifles or pistols on them that could have been wheeled into the room, controlled remotely, and when they had the shooter in the robots sights, fired and killed the shooter? That is stuff they have had for a long time.

PatrickSvitek So does this mean they found their scapegoat I mean seriously, one guy? We’re supposed to believe this entire fiasco is because of one guy? Riiiiiight UvaldeCoverUp

Not good enough UvaldePolice

PatrickSvitek Texas tribune sucks! Use to be a good place to get information. Way to woke these days. Fire them all and bring a 50/50 mix of reporters and writers. Until then I will not waste my money or time ready there garbage.

Kids were killed end of story. The only one to blame is the shooter. 90% of the fatalities happened before police were on the scene. Just like you most people will not put themselves in harms way. The police did what was necessary at the time. Sometimes things have to play out

What we learned from the Uvalde shooting video, and what remains unknownThe video of law enforcement response to the Robb Elementary School shooting sheds no light on why officers waited so long to confront the gunman, nor does it reveal who was responsible for the delay. In fact, the video raises more questions than answers. Fake News... but total disgrace. We learned that these officers were not there to protect the children. Didn’t even try. fail I was disappointed that “respecting” those who are grieving did not prevent ads being shown during the airing of the 77 minutes. WTF!

Pointless and too late. The system failed these parents and the children paid with their lives. They knew what needed to be done at least since Sandy Hook and chose to sit on their thumbs. Everything they've done since Uvalde showed they will not do anything. Vote them out. Feds working over time to let a national tragedy happen
