A former police officer facing charges that he failed in his role to confront the shooter at an Uvalde, Texas, elementary school in 2022, was acquitted on Jan. 21 after jurors deliberated for more than seven hours.
Jurors found Adrian Gonzalez, 52, not guilty in what has become the first trial over an alleged hesitant law enforcement response to one of the deadliest school shootings in U.S. history, where gunman Salvador Ramos killed 19 children and two teachers at Robb Elementary School on May 24, 2022.
