Uvalde Police Chief Fired

Pete Arredondo

The Uvalde school board fired Police Chief Pete Arredondo precisely three months after the school shooting. Following an investigation, Arredondo was primarily blamed for the poor police response when 19 children and two teachers died. Arredondo wasn’t at the meeting, citing safety concerns. His attorney is requesting the school reinstate Arredondo with back pay and benefits. He calls the complaint “unfounded.”
