At BBQ fundraiser in Uvalde, school district‘s delay in firing police chief reverberates
Jazmin Cazares, 17, packages plates of BBQ chicken during the Keep All Righteous Minds Aware sale held to raise money for the families of the Robb Elementary shooting victims at Jardin de los Heros Park in Uvalde, Texas, Saturday, July 23, 2022. Cazares’ 9-year-old sister Jackie Cazares was one of 19 school children and two teachers who were killed in the Robb Elementary shooting on May 24.
As country music played in the background, parents who’d lost children in the mass shooting greeted each other with big hugs and talked for hours under the oak trees. Released a week ago, the report described a cascade of “systemic failures” that resulted in law enforcement officers waiting more than 70 minutes to confront and kill the mass shooter in a fourth-grade classroom. One of the most damning findings: some officers knew that victims — wounded but still alive — were trapped in Classrooms 111 and 112 with 18-year-old gunman Salvador Ramos, of Uvalde, and they still waited for more agents and better equipment.
Earlier Saturday morning, the Uvalde school district’s board was supposed to have met to consider firing Arredondo. The announcement was welcome news to parents who have spoken out at board meetings since the massacre demanding Arredondo — and the entire school district — be held accountable.
