State trooper under investigation for Uvalde shooting response now working for school district
In announcing the dismissal of officer Crimson Hux Elizondo, the Uvalde school district also cited a comment she made the day of the massacre: “If my son had been in there, I would not have been outside. I promise you that.”
Elizondo was one of seven DPS agents referred on July 25 to the Office of Inspector General for what DPS officials said in an internal memo were “actions which may be inconsistent with training department requirements.” Two of the officers were suspended; Elizondo, however, wasn’t one of them. Elizondo and other Uvalde-area officers entered the hallway at 11:42 a.m., about 12 minutes after the gunman entered the building. However, none of them went after the shooter.
Parents and elected officials were outraged Thursday by her comment — and her hiring by the Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District.
