Prosecutor: Uvalde officer did nothing

CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas (AP) — A Texas prosecutor says a school police officer made no attempt to distract or stop the gunman during the school shooting in Uvalde in 2022. Opening statements and testimony in the officer’s trial began Tuesday. Special prosecutor Bill Turner says the former Uvalde schools officer, who was among the first to respond, arrived while the teenage gunman was still outside the building but did nothing until it was too late. Adrian Gonzales is one of two former law enforcement officers charged following the attack that killed 19 students and two teachers. The officer’s attorney says Gonzales did what he could at a confusing and chaotic scene.
