The former chief of the Uvalde School District police and one other officer have been indicted in connection with the 2022 attack in Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas.
Two teachers and 19 children were killed in the attack, in which 77 minutes passed between the initial police response and the armed response that killed the gunman.
Former Uvalde school district police officer Adrian Gonzales was charged with 29 counts of abandoning and endangering a child on Friday. Former Uvalde police chief Pete Arredondo was charged with 10 counts of child endangerment on Thursday, according to KXAN-TV.
