Police Chief In Charge Of Scene At Uvalde School Shooting Was Never Given Vital Piece Of Info: TX Official
A Texas state lawmaker said on Thursday that the police chief who was in charge of the scene during the shooting at Robb Elementary School last week in Uvalde, Texas, was never told about the multiple 911 calls that were coming from inside the building after the attacker had locked himself in a classroom full of children.
The news is the latest development in the widely criticized response by law enforcement officials at the school after an 18-year-old Latino shooter murdered 19 children.
State Sen. Roland Gutierrez (D-San Antonio) said during a press conference that the information, which was given to the Uvalde Police Department, was never communicated to Uvalde CISD police chief Pete Arredondo.
“What we do know is that the 911 calls were not being communicated to the so-called incident commander, Officer Arredondo,” Gutierrez said. “They were being communicated to a Uvalde police officer.”
