Adrian Gonzales Trial Day 1: "He Knew Where The Shooter Was" — Opening Statements Reveal Prosecution's Case

Opening statements began today in the trial of former Uvalde school officer Adrian Gonzales, and the prosecution held nothing back. Special prosecutor Bill Turner used a minute-by-minute timeline to show the jury exactly what Gonzales allegedly did — and didn't do — as a gunman executed 19 children and two teachers at Robb Elementary.

Turner's most damning line: Gonzales was told by a coach where the shooter was heading. He heard the shots. He radioed that the shooter was wearing black and was in the parking lot. And according to the prosecution, "Adrian Gonzales remains" — at the south side of the school — while the gunman entered the building and opened fire. Turner says Gonzales only went inside "after the damage was done."

The defense called it a chaotic scene. Attorney Jason Goss said Gonzales believed he was responding to a vehicle accident involving a man with a gun. Nico LaHood told jurors that "pure evil" visited Uvalde that day, but said his client did everything he could under the circumstances and was among the first to enter the building.

The jury — 11 women and five men — will hear from FBI agents, Texas Rangers, and families over the next two weeks. Gonzales faces 29 felony counts of child endangerment.
