One of the first officers on the scene at the 2022 school shooting in Uvalde, Texas, is about to stand trial. The charges are related to the fact that police waited more than an hour to confront the shooter while children and teachers lay dead or wounded in classrooms. Former Uvalde schools police officer Adrian Gonzales is accused of ignoring his training in a crisis with deadly consequences. He is charged with multiple counts of child abandonment and endangerment. His attorney insists that he was focused on helping children escape from the building.
