Originally Published 6 days ago — by ABC News
The trial of former Uvalde police officer Adrian Gonzales begins, charged with failing to respond adequately during the 2022 Robb Elementary School shooting that resulted in 21 deaths. Prosecutors allege he neglected his duty by not engaging the shooter despite knowing his location, marking a rare case of holding law enforcement accountable for their response to a mass shooting. The case could set a precedent for police accountability in such incidents.
