Uvalde victim’s father: No ill will toward police incident commander at Robb Elementary mass shooting
The mayor said he could not answer questions about the shooting because he is not law enforcement.
McLaughlin said the city’s police chief was on vacation at the time of the shooting but flew back to Uvalde within a day and a half. McLaughlin said he has not spoken to Arredondo in more than a week, not since Gov. Greg Abbott came to town. The mayor said he didn’t even want to meet Tuesday, but council had to extend the disaster declaration.Alfred Garza III, the father of Amerie Jo Garza, didn’t know what to expect of the special session. He firmly raised his hand, introduced himself to the council from his seat at the second row of tables and asked whether summer school sessions would be postponed so that the children have time to cope with the trauma of the shooting.
