Uvalde school police chief fired months after 21 killed in school shooting in U.S. Texas

HOUSTON: Uvalde school district police chief Pete Arredondo was fired on Wednesday evening in a unanimous vote by the Uvalde school board, three months after 19 children and two teachers were killed at Robb Elementary School in the U.S. state of Texas.

In a closed session meeting, the board voted to immediately terminate Arredondo’s contract, who was widely blamed for the botched law enforcement response to the May 24 shooting.
