The Uvalde school district fired chief Pete Arredondo on Wednesday under mounting pressure in the grieving Texas town to punish officers over letting a gunman at Robb Elementary School remain in a fourth-grade classroom for more then an hour with an AR-15 style rifle as 19 children and two teachers were killed. in a unanimous vote, the Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District's Board of trustees fired Arredondo in an auditorium of parents and survivors of the May 24 massacre. Arredondo, who did not attend the meeting, becomes the first officer to lose hid job following one of the deadliest classroom shootings in U.S. history.
