Summary
After 7 hours of deliberating, a Texas jury finds former Uvalde police officer Adrian Gonzales not guilty of 29 counts of child endangerment. It was an emotional 2 weeks of testimony, many victims’ families traveling hundreds of miles, looking for justice after officers waited 77 minutes to confront the gunman who killed 19 students and 2 teachers at Robb Elementary School nearly 4 years ago. Officer Gonzales arrived before the gunman entered the school and waited for backup as hundreds of shots rang out inside the school.
