Event Summary

Adrián González, a former school police officer in Uvalde, United States — Texas, is on trial for 29 counts of child abandonment or endangerment. He is accused of failing to protect children during the 2022 Robb Elementary School shooting, where Uvalde school shooting killed 19 students and two teachers. Gonzales was one of the first officers on the scene, and authorities waited 77 minutes to confront the shooter. This is a rare prosecution of an officer for inaction during a school shooting, with a precedent set by the acquittal of Scott Peterson in the 2018 Parkland, Florida, massacre. The trial has been moved to Corpus Christi, United States — Texas, at the request of Adrián González' attorneys, who argued he could not receive a fair trial in Uvalde. Uvalde school shooting, the former Uvalde schools police chief, also faces charges, but his trial has not been scheduled. State and federal reviews have cited cascading problems in law enforcement training and communication regarding the incident.
