About that these cowards are brought to justice:


The former Uvalde schools police chief and another ex-officer have been indicted over their role in the slow police response to the 2022 massacre at a Texas elementary school that left 19 children and two teachers dead, the local sheriff said.

Pete Arredondo was indicted by a grand jury on 10 counts of felony child endangerment/abandonment and briefly booked into the county jail before he was released on bond, Uvalde County Sheriff Ruben Nolasco told the Associated Press in a text message Thursday night.

The Uvalde Leader-News and the San Antonio Express-News reported that former Officer Adrian Gonzales was also indicted on similar charges. The Uvalde Leader-News reported that Dist. Atty. Christina Mitchell confirmed the indictment.

The indictments come more than two years after an 18-year-old gunman opened fire in a fourth-grade classroom, where he remained for more than 70 minutes before officers confronted and killed him. In total, 376 law enforcement officers massed at Robb Elementary School on May 24, 2022, some waiting in the hallway outside the classroom, even as the gunman could be heard firing an AR-15-style rifle inside.
