A trial is set to begin for former Uvalde schools police officer Adrian Gonzales, charged with child abandonment and endangerment for his alleged delayed response to the 2022 Robb Elementary School shooting. Families of victims seek accountability, with one relative expressing hope that the trial offers a chance for justice after other efforts, like gun control advocacy and lawsuits, yielded limited results. Gonzales's attorney maintains his client was focused on rescuing children. The charges represent a rare instance of an officer facing criminal prosecution for actions during a mass shooting response.
