BREAKING: Uvalde Cop Adrian Gonzales Trial Begins — First Officer On Scene Charged With 29 Counts After 77-Minute Police Failure

BREAKING: Uvalde Cop Adrian Gonzales Trial Begins — First Officer On Scene Charged With 29 Counts After 77-Minute Police Failure

Jury selection began today in one of the most consequential police accountability trials in American history. Former Uvalde school police officer Adrian Gonzales is facing 29 felony counts of child endangerment for his response to the Robb Elementary School shooting that killed 19 children and two teachers on May 24, 2022.

What makes this case unprecedented: Gonzales was the first law enforcement officer to arrive at Robb Elementary — before the shooter even entered the building. A coach on scene told investigators she pointed toward the gunman and begged Gonzales to stop him. According to CNN's timeline, he had 59 seconds before the shooter walked into the school. He had been through multiple active shooter trainings and had even taught a course titled "Stop the Killing: Solo Response" just two months earlier.

According to his own statements to investigators, he never saw the shooter, never fired, and after briefly entering the hallway, stepped outside and "never went back." For 77 minutes, 376 officers from multiple agencies waited while a gunman remained in the classroom. Inside, 10-year-old Khloie Torres called 911 for 46 minutes begging for help.

This is the first time a Texas officer has been prosecuted under this child endangerment statute for alleged inaction during a school shooting. The only comparable case — Parkland resource officer Scot Peterson — ended in acquittal in 2023.

Gonzales has pleaded not guilty. His defense says he helped evacuate children. The families say he's a coward. Today, a jury begins deciding whether failure to act is a crime.
