READ MORE:The former Uvalde school police chief and another ex-officer have been charged over their botched response to the Robb Elementary massacre.
The police force was heavily criticized in the wake of the massacre, after it emerged that nobody attempted to confront Ramos until 77 minutes after he began his rampage. He admitted he decided not to try and neutralize Ramos, in hopes of saving the lives of other children. An investigation conducted for the city of Uvalde also revealed that officers wanted to storm the classroom as soon as bullet proof shields arrived, but they were overruled by Arredondo.
The criminal charges against the former police are the first in connection with what was the deadliest school shooting in Texas history.
