Arredondo was\u00a0sacked three months after the shooting<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0in a unanimous vote from the UCISD’s board of trustees.<\/p>\n A grand jury in Uvalde also issued an indictment for Adrian Gonzales, another officer, over the police response to the mass shooting.<\/p>\n The sheriff’s office could not provide specific details on any charges faced.
