The Uvalde newspaper reported that District Attorney Christina Mitchell confirmed the indictment. Arredondo, who was the on-site commander during the attack, and Gonzales are the first officers to face criminal charges.

Some of my teachers are still alive but they’re shot.”The state jail felony charges carry up to two years in jail if convicted.
