UVALDE — When the Uvalde school board fired embattled police Chief Pete Arredondo on Wednesday, families and friends of the victims of Texas’ deadliest school shooting broke out in applause.
Some parents and community members are calling for more school district employees to be fired and for the state to raise the minimum age for buying an assault rifle.
After remaining mostly silent under a barrage of criticism, Arredondo defended his response to the shooting and said his rights had been infringed upon.
The Uvalde school board called a special meeting for Wednesday, Aug. 24, to consider firing Pete Arredondo as school district police chief.
