But on May 24, Arredondo didn't consider himself in charge of the massive police response, he later said. An investigation by Texas legislators wasof Arredondo and the"void of leadership" among the almost 400 officers at the scene.
“At Robb Elementary, law enforcement responders failed to adhere to their active shooter training, and they failed to prioritize saving the lives of innocent victims over their own safety,” the report’s authors wrote., and community members — including the victims' families — have been calling for his firing. That wasn't possible earlier for procedural reasons, school district leaders have said.
"So naturally, those affected lash out and seek more retribution by identifying a new target to focus their grief on with the belief it will help them stop hurting," Hyde wrote."Unfortunately, it won't." As they waited for the meeting to begin, a number of family members of the victims spoke emotionally about their loved ones and called on the school board to make changes.
