Overview

  • Uvalde CISD released more than 1,500 pages of internal texts, emails, personnel and student files plus hours of body-worn camera video after a Texas appeals court upheld a release order.
  • Student files detail Salvador Ramos’s academic decline from being lauded in kindergarten to chronic suspensions and withdrawal months before his 2022 attack.
  • Body-cam footage captures nearly 400 officers in hallways for about 77 minutes as parents begged them to confront the gunman in a locked classroom.
  • Pre-shooting emails show district officials and police chiefs discussed security training and active-shooter drills before the Robb Elementary massacre.
  • Only former school police chief Pete Arredondo and officer Adrian Gonzales have been criminally charged for the delayed response and are due to stand trial in October 2025.
