Summary
The Adrian Gonzales trial just took a devastating turn. Texas Rangers presented a 3D animation to jurors showing the former Uvalde CISD officer's movements during the Robb Elementary shooting, and what it allegedly reveals is damning. According to investigators, Gonzales arrived on scene before the gunman entered the building, drove past the shooter in the parking lot, parked his vehicle, radioed "shots fired," and then stood outside for approximately three minutes and forty seconds while 117 rounds were fired inside the fourth grade wing.
Gonzales has pleaded not guilty to 29 counts of child endangerment. His defense attorney Nico LaHood is mounting an aggressive counter-strategy, pointing to other officers who also failed to engage. During tense cross-examination, LaHood got Lieutenant Nick Hill to admit that Officer Juan Saucedo had an AR-15, saw the shooter, and didn't fire. Three other patrol cars drove away from the school while shots rang out inside. LaHood's argument: why is Gonzales the only one on trial?
The courtroom has been filled with raw emotion. Velma Duran, sister of murdered teacher Irma Garcia, was removed after an outburst. Teacher's aide Melodye Flores testified she told Gonzales multiple times where the gunman was going. Her words: "He just stayed there." And Jennifer Garcia shared how her nine-year-old daughter Eliana wanted to come home early that day but stayed for a pizza party. She would have turned ten eleven days later.
This is the second time in American history a police officer has faced charges for inaction during a school shooting. The first was acquitted.
