In First Uvalde Trial, Former School Officer Is Found Not Guilty
A former school police officer was found not guilty of abandoning or endangering children more than three years after a gunman massacred 21 people at Uvalde’s Robb Elementary. Police on the scene did not stop the shooter until well over an hour after he walked into the school.
“In each of the 29 counts, we, the jury, find the defendant, Adrian Gonzales, not guilty.” “The system has failed over and over and over. I respect the jury’s decision, but it just — what message does it send out there that if you’re an officer, you can simply stand by, stand down, stand idle and not do anything, and wait for everybody to be executed, killed, slaughtered, massacred?” “The suspect is deceased at this point. D.P.S. is assisting with the investigation.”
