One by one, dozens of angry parents and residents lambasted the Uvalde school board, repeatedly calling for the superintendent to be fired and trustees to step down after more law enforcement failures were revealed in the response to the shooting that killed 19 children and two teachers at Robb Elementary School.

"Shame on you!" a chorus erupted as the meeting got underway Monday evening.

Hundreds of community members crammed into an auditorium at Uvalde High School, questioning school officials' handling of safety and demanding accountability from the people paid to protect children and school staff.

Several speakers reinforced calls for the firing of embattled Uvalde School District Police Chief Pete Arredondo, who remains on paid administrative leave even after resigning his City Council seat.

"If he’s not fired by noon tomorrow, I want your resignation and every single one of you board members because y'all do not give a damn about our children or us," Brett Cross told Superintendent Hal Harrell and other board members.
