Pete Arredondo, the former Uvalde school district police chief who has been widely criticized for his response to the deadly 2022 school shooting, has been arrested and charged with child endangerment. NBC’s Priscilla Thompson reports for TODAY.

Families who lost loved ones in the Robb Elementary School shooting in Uvalde, Texas, said the Thursday arrest of former school district police chief Pete Arredondo is not a “happy moment” and are calling for more indictments. Arredondo, 52, was arrested on an indictment charging him with 10 counts of abandoning/endangering a child in connection with the May 24, 2022, school shooting that killed 19 children and two teachers. Another 17 people were injured.

” “So, when you see these charges and the maximum penalty only carries a few years in jail, possibly,” he continued. “It’s difficult to accept that. It is something, it’s more than what you had before. Hopefully there's other people that are going to be indicted and maybe be charged with a little bit more.” Kimberly Rubio, the mother of 10-year-old Alexandria “Lexi” Aniyah Rubio, told NBC News Friday: “I am glad to see that some action was taken. But I don’t want it mistaken for justice.
