Pete Arredondo, the Uvalde school district police chief has stepped down from his job. And the names of the officers in the hallway have not been released.
Two months after the shooting police agencies are still arguing about who was in charge of the response.
The surveillance video that was leaked to the Austin American-Statesman publicly was not shown to the grieving parents first.
Over a dozen officers, some armed and carrying bulletproof shields, can be seen at times in the video.
The reality of the scene was far different from what Republican Gov. Greg Abbott described the day after the shooting. He claimed officers “showed amazing courage by running toward gunfire.” Abbott later said he was given the wrong information.
Police hold back citizens from confronting gunman
Ruben Ruiz, the husband of Eva Mireles, one of two teachers killed, appears in the body camera footage at 11:48 a.m. He enters the building and tells officers, “She is shot.”
Ruiz was prepared to confront the gunman. Like so many of the parents outside the school, the officer was stopped.
