(AP Photo\/Eric Gay)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h5>OAN Newsroom<br \/>UPDATED 2:05 PM PT \u2013 Thursday, August 25, 2022<\/h5>\n<p><span>Members of the Uvalde school board voted to remove Police Chief Pete Arredondo over his response to the Robb Elementary Shooting. The unanimous vote has terminated the contract of the disgraced Police Chief.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>During a meeting on Wednesday, the school board secretary Laura Perez made the motion to remove Arredondo from his position. Her motion received an overwhelming amount of support from members of the board.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Prior to this, Arredondo had already turned in his resignation letter after being heavily criticized for his actions during the shooting incident at Robb Elementary which left 21 people dead including 19 children.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cMister Board President, I move that good cause exist to terminate the non-certified contract of Pete Arredondo effectively immediately,\u201d said Perez. \u201cI further move that good cause exist to ratify the unpaid leave status of Mister Arredondo starting July 19, 2022. Finally I move to authorize the superintendent to issue written notice to Mister Arredondo of this board action including filing any needed reports required by the termination.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span>Members of the community were left unsatisfied despite the decision to strip the school district Police Chief of his title. Robb Elementary student, Caitlyn Gonzalez, lambasted the police who were present at the school during the incident saying they \u2018don\u2019t reserve to wear a badge\u2019.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Before Uvalde CISD voted to fire Pete Arredondo, a young Uvalde girl demanded that law enforcement who responded at Robb &#8220;turn in your badge and step down.&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/OJRzBkMxQY\">https:\/\/t.co\/OJRzBkMxQY<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/LDiSBaSVWP\">pic.twitter.com\/LDiSBaSVWP<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 KENS 5 (@KENS5) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/KENS5\/status\/1562606420088193024?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 25, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cI have messages for Pete Arredondo and all the law enforcement that were there that day: turn in your badge, and step down,\u201d said Gonzalez. \u201cYou don\u2019t deserve to wear one.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span>Another Uvalde resident, Daniel Myers, expressed his outrage at the school board. He accused them of not caring about the families who were affected by the tragedy. Myers also believes the board was trying to cover up the incident by dismissing Arredondo.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cYou guys don\u2019t care a squawk about these families,\u201d claimed Meyers. \u201cIf it was one of your children, hands would be rolling right now. But because it\u2019s not, you don\u2019t care. You are not going to sweep this under the rug. You\u2019re not. All of you are accountable.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span>In the meantime, several government agencies including the FBI have launched investigations into the police response to the shooting.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/rubio-the-democrat-party-has-abandoned-their-voters\/\">Rubio: The Democrat Party Has Abandoned Their Voters<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Texas Department of Safety Troopers stand by for a meeting of the Board of Trustees of Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District, Wednesday, Aug. 24, 2022, in Uvalde, Texas.
