The Uvalde School Police Chief widely blamed for the disastrous cop handling of the massacre at an elementary school has revealed he intentionally ditched his radios because he thought they would 'slow him down', and said he didn't know he was in charge of the operation. Pete Arredondo was in charge of the tiny school police force in the Uvalde Consolidated School district when gunman Salvador Ramos opened fire in Robb Elementary School on May 24. He has been widely blamed for not responding to the shooting more promptly, and officials even said he gave directives to cops telling them not to try to breach the classroom where Ramos had barricaded himself inside with kids.
