Two UPD officers have left the force. No one has confirmed if the resignations were related to the shooting.
Uvalde CISD Police Chief Pete Arredondo was in charge of the school police on the day of the shootings. He was placed on administrative leave last month. And the families of the Uvalde victims are demanding he is fired.
Uvalde parents demand accountability
At Monday’s meeting, the parents were demanding that Arredondo be fired. And saying that he should be the first to go, but not the last.
They are frustrated and impatient. The townspeople have been told to let the investigations play out. And they haven’t been allowed inside the rooms where the investigators are doing their work. So, at the CISD meeting, they ask the school administrators “’Are you going to make this right?’ And they call for resignations and terminations inside the school district. “You need to clean the house” one parent called out to applause and shouts.
