Uvalde trial: Former officer admits ‘that was my mistake’ in pre-shooting interview

Jurors in the Uvalde trial heard a videotaped interview with former school district police officer Adrian Gonzales the day after the Robb Elementary massacre, in which he described what he did and suggested he was focused on a coach and the shooter’s direction; he said, “that was my mistake,” a line prosecutors cite to show he failed to delay or distract the gunman. The testimony, part of ongoing questions about law enforcement response during the 77 minutes the shooter was inside the building, came amid emotional courtroom moments, including a disruption by the sister of slain teacher Irma Garcia. Other witnesses described doors left unlocked and how different responders and teachers acted during the attack, while defense arguments emphasized policies and whether Gonzales could have acted differently under stress. The trial continues to scrutinize the actions of Gonzales and other officers in the lead-up to and during the massacre.
