Former Uvalde Police Chief Seeks Dismissal of Charges Over School Shooting Response

Pete Arredondo argues that the charges of child endangerment lack legal basis, claiming he had no duty to protect students from the shooter.

Arredondo faces ten felony charges for allegedly delaying law enforcement response during the 2022 Robb Elementary School shooting.
His motion contends that the children were already in imminent danger when he arrived, disputing his responsibility.
The indictment accuses Arredondo of failing to identify the incident as an active shooter situation and delaying decisive action.
Families of the victims have criticized the limited number of indictments and called for greater accountability.
The court is set to review the motion to dismiss the charges on September 16.
