CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas (AP) — A former Uvalde schools police officer was acquitted Wednesday of charges that he failed in his duties to confront the gunman at Robb Elementary during the critical first minutes of one of the deadliest school shootings in U.S. history.

Jurors deliberated for more than seven hours before finding Adrian Gonzales, 52, not guilty in the first trial over the hesitant law enforcement response to the 2022 attack, in which a teenage gunman killed 19 fourth-graders and two teachers. Had he been convicted, he faced up two years in prison on more than two dozen charges of child abandonment and endangerment.

Gonzales appeared to fight back tears and hugged his lawyers after the verdict was read in a courtroom in Corpus Christi, hundreds of miles from Uvalde, where his legal team said a fair trial would not have been possible.

“Thank you for the jury for considering all the evidence,” Gonzales told reporters. Asked if he wanted to say anything to the families, he declined.

1. Coward! How many guns did the good guys have?

[popsdenver]

2. Every last cop there

are 100% Chicken Shits.......

Same exact thing happened at Columbine, responding Littleton? Cops staging outside the School while the shooting was still going on.

It was reported......Head? of Denver SWAT lived a couple of blocks away from Columbine & his girl was in Columbine. He had his Denver Cop unmarked car, went to the scene, donned all his gear from the trunk hurriedly and rushed to the closest school door. Several Littleton? cops were just standing at the door. The swat guy said: Let's go.........
The Littleton Cops told them they were staging, waiting for other cops before entering, and besides we don't even know who the bad guys are. The Denver Swat guy, said they are the ones with guns!!!!!!, and went in alone....By the time he got to the library the two gunmen had offed themselves.......

The Aurora Theatre mass shooting was also a Charlie Foxtrot............
