Uvalde schools superintendent declines to say if police chief is still employed by district
The superintendent of a district where a gunman killed 21 people at an elementary school two weeks ago declined to reveal Thursday if his embattled police chief was still employed.
UVALDE, Texas — The superintendent of the district where a gunman killed 21 people at an elementary school two weeks ago declined to reveal Thursday if his embattled police chief was still employed.
Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District Superintendent Hal Harrell was asked if Chief Pete Arredondo was still a district employee and he refused to answer.
"That's a personnel question," Harrell told reporters. "I am not able to answer that in a public forum."
Arredondo has kept an incredibly low profile since Salvador Rolando Ramos, 18, broke into Robb Elementary School on May 24 and gunned down 19 children and two teachers.
The gunman was fatally shot almost an hour later by a Border Patrol tactical unit.
