Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsThe Uvalde police held the Border Patrol back.
It is being reported that the Border Patrol arrived earlier than previously known. It is also now claimed by Border Patrol agents that local authorities werent allowing them to go in to rescue the children and kill the shooter. It appears that they eventually decided to take things into their own hands. More facts are coming out.
This story will get even more heartbreaking tomorrow.

Pete Arredondo, is a school cop...
He was not prepared for this
As a matter of fact, he was just elected to Uvalde City Council. (City Council is a part time job) However he could not work as a city cop and run for city council.

of this whole thing.
