Former chief of the Uvalde school police Peter Arredondo told investigators he decided not to breach the classroom where a shooter was holed up with children because he wanted to save the lives of students in other classrooms. In newly emerged footage from Arredondo's interview with the Department of Public Safety after the deadly May shooting, the cop said he thought 'there's probably going to be some deceased in there,' and described deciding not to engage the shooter and instead focus on evacuating the school. The decision went against his department's active shooter protocols, and essentially left students trapped in the classroom with shooter Salvator Ramos, 18, for dead. In the massacre, 21 people died — 19 students and two teachers.
