Adrian Gonzales is a former Uvalde school police officer who was one of the nearly 400 law enforcement personnel who responded to the May 24, 2022 mass shooting at the Robb Elementary School scene but then waited more than 70 minutes before the shooter inside the school was confronted. Gonzales faces 29 counts of abandoning or endangering children who were killed and wounded for his response to the shooting, where 19 children and two teachers died. Each charge against Gonzales carries up to two years in jail if convicted. Officials have called the law enforcement response an abject failure. Former student 18-year-old Salvador Ramos drove to the school where he entered a classroom and shot his victims, having bypassed local and state officers who had been in the hallways. He remained in the classrooms for 1 hour and 14 minutes before members of the United States Border Patrol Tactical Unit breached the classroom and fatally shot him.
