Hey everybody, I'm Ashley Banfield and this is Drop Dead serious. An hour and 17 minutes.

It feels like nothing. If you're like watching a good movie, if you're having dinner,

out with somebody. But if you're in a dentist's chair or if you're stuck on a tarmac or maybe

waiting for a jury to come back, that can feel like forever. And 77 minutes is the exact

amount of time that it took police in Uvaldi, Texas to breach the door at Rob Elementary School

and take out an 18-year-old gunman

who'd been shooting little children and teachers at will.

19 kids and two teachers died that day.

And though their killer acted alone,

Texas prosecutors say he's not the only one to blame.

Almost four years after this horrible thing happened, a former Yuvaldi school police officer

is now on trial for allegedly not doing enough to save the lives of the kids.

His name is Adrian Gonzalez,

and he's facing 29 counts of child abandonment or endangerment. Here's how the prosecutor put it.

We're not asking Adrian Gonzalez to commit suicide. He has been trained to go to the corner of a

building and distract, delay, and impede the gunman

while help is arriving. But Adrian Gonzalez does nothing more than Mike, his microphone,

and tell other officers what's going on. Not surprisingly, and as expected, the defense attorney had an entirely different take,

saying that Adrian Gonzalez did what he could with the knowledge and the resources that he had.

He took the call.

He took the call to go to a school that he wasn't assigned to.

He drove to the suspect into the storm, thinking that it was the person that had this gun walking towards the school.
