Uvalde Officer’s Trial Begins: Anger, Scrutiny, and Doubts Surround Delayed Response
In the aftermath of the 2022 Uvalde school shooting, families are seeking accountability for law enforcement’s delayed response. Former Uvalde schools police officer Adrian Gonzales is facing trial on charges related to his actions during the attack, specifically for allegedly failing to confront the shooter. The families, frustrated by legislative inaction and unresolved lawsuits, are hoping the trial will provide some closure. However, the community remains divided, and the reluctance of juries to convict law enforcement officers for inaction looms over the proceedings.
