Summary
Jason Duck, Captain of the Department of Public Safety, took the stand in the trial of former Uvalde school officer Adrian Gonzales, who faces 29 counts of child endangerment over his response to the Robb Elementary massacre.
Prosecutors allege Gonzales was first on scene and failed to engage despite knowing the shooter’s location. The defense says he’s being used as a scapegoat. Nineteen children and two teachers were killed on May 24, 2022. The trial is expected to last two weeks.
