Uvalde police have come under intense scrutiny since the mass shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas that claimed the lives of nineteen school children and two teachers.

Uvalde police decided not to cooperate with the Texas Department of Public Safety’s investigation into the shooting after a Colonel and spokesperson for the DPS criticized their response.

Last week, more troubling developments were reported surrounding the police response to the Uvalde shooting after video footage surfaced of Uvalde police officers standing around inside the school while 18-year-old Salvador Ramos went on a violent rampage.

One officer was seen getting hand sanitizer while another was using their phone.

Now, Uvalde School District is considering firing Police Chief Pete Arredondo for his role in failing to prevent the shooting.
