Newly released documents reveal that the Uvalde school district police chief, Pete Arredondo, received active shooter training two months before the Robb Elementary School massacre, emphasizing immediate confrontation. Despite this training, Arredondo waited 77 minutes to engage the gunman. Arredondo faces child endangerment charges, while the documents also detail the shooter's history of disciplinary issues and parental lack of involvement in addressing his behavioral problems. The release comes after years of requests from victims' families and follows a Texas law mandating active shooter training for school officers.
