A school police officer in Uvalde, Texas, stood by during one of the deadliest school shootings in US history and made no attempt to distract or stop the gunman before he opened fire inside the classrooms, a prosecutor told a jury Tuesday. Adrian Gonzales, who was among the first to respond to the attack in 2022, arrived while the teenage assailant was still outside the building and did not make a move, even when a teacher pointed out the direction of the shooter, special prosecutor Bill Turner said during opening statements of a criminal trial, per the AP.
The officer only went inside Robb Elementary minutes later, «after the damage had been done», Turner said.
