Three months to the day after the mass shooting at Robb Elementary, the Uvalde school board Wednesday night fired school district police Chief Pete Arredondo, who has been the focus of much of the scrutiny and blame for law enforcement’s 77-minute delay in confronting the gunman who shot and killed 19 children and two teachers on May 24. Arredondo did not attend the meeting. Instead, his attorney released a 17-page statement Wednesday evening, arguing that all of Arredondo's actions on May 24 were consistent with active shooter training and that "Chief Arredondo did the right thing." "Any allegation of lack of leadership is wholly misplaced," the statement says. "The complaint that an officer should have rushed the door, believed to be locked, to open it up without a shield capable of stopping an AR-15 bullet, without breaching tools … is tantamount to suicide." However, his statement also cites active shooter protocol from the International Association of Police Chiefs, which says that "immediate action by officers at the scene is necessary when such actions are deemed reasonable to prevent further injuries or loss of life."
