Pete Arredondo, the chief of the Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District's police force, is not responding to investigators seeking more information about the response to last week's mass shooting at Robb Elementary School, two spokespeople for the Texas Department of Public Safety told the Texas Tribune.
The Texas Department of Public Safety is reviewing why police officers didn't immediately confront the gunman at Robb Elementary School; the suspect ultimately killed 19 students and two teachers and wounded at least 17 others. DPS spokesman Travis Considine told the Texas Tribune that while Arredondo has not yet responded to an interview request sent a few days ago, the school district's police department and the Uvalde Police Department have both been cooperating with the investigation.
