Uvalde police chief announces resignation after report on Robb Elementary School shooting

The Uvalde, Texas, police chief announced his resignation Tuesday, days after a City Council report cleared several officers of wrongdoing in the delayed law enforcement response to the shooting at Robb Elementary School that killed 19 children and two teachers. 'After much contemplation and consideration, I believe it is time for me to embark on a new chapter in my career,' Chief Daniel Rodriguez said in a statement.

At a Uvalde City Council meeting Tuesday evening, parents of those killed said they were disappointed that the council was not going to act about whether to accept the report, as they were led to believe. “You all told us last week you were going to give us some damn answers — and you’re still not giving us answers,” said Brett Cross, whose son Uziyah was killed. “Do you all accept it or not?” Xavier Lopez, who was friends with Uziyah, would have turned 12 years old Tuesday, Cross said.
