First Funerals Held for Uvalde Shooting Victims

There were more tears in Uvalde today as the first two funerals were held for victims of last week’s school shooting. Anger in the Texas town continues to brew over the fact that it took 77 minutes for police to enter the classroom and take down the gunman. The school police chief who was in charge that day is under police protection. Chief Pete Arredondo is facing condemnation for allegedly telling cops to hold off taking down the elementary school shooter until reinforcements arrived.

THE POLICE IS A COWARD, HE COULD HAVE SAVED LIFES

[chuckconaway]

They all need fired for not doing the job to protect and to serve

[TNG]

Can you imagine being in the same room as a gunman, waiting minutes after minutes after calling for help? The chief’s decisions could very well have decided the fate of multiple students.

[diva]

He is a coward. How dare you 77 minutes do you know how many lives they could have safe. This is beyond heartbreaking. My condolences to the families.

[parthxus]

Rip those children, they had a life ahead of them. Shame on the cops for not going in, they could’ve saved so many lives.

[andre.ftbl.]

It’s ridiculous that the cops wouldn’t go in just because they feared getting shot yet 19 children and 2 teachers died.

[charliesilvas]

Under police protection !?? Screw that guy !! It’s heart breaking especially for us Texans ..I can’t even begin to imagine the families that have to bury their children..

[MyNameIsNotEmail.ItsEmail]

That police chief should resign both positions out of respect. He shouldn't have to be asked.

[capybaralvr]

The chief should be ashamed of himself. Resign and never show your face again. You’re no leader, you’re a COWARD

[hocgan]

"They waited 77 minutes before they entered and killed the gunman" don't give those police /any/ credit, a border patrol agent and father did.

[AGrace-twku]

Absolutely disturbing how kids can’t even be safe in school.
Rest In Peace.., you will be missed. 🕊🕊💔💔

[hutao]

It’s horrible what our nation turned into…I have prayers for all the family’s that lost their children, friends, and teachers…🙏🙏🙏

[joshuajames]

A parent shouldn’t have to bury there son or daughter. Rest In Peace little angels. 👼💔

[Kahilena]

Imagine getting the protection from the police that you/ they never gave the children!

[EclecticElegance]

77 minutes… WOW. I. I just can’t. Do you know long of a time that is!? How horrifying. I can’t even imagine the range of emotions and sheer terror those kids and teachers felt. This is so sickening. I can barely stomach watching any news coverage about it.

[aware]

He wants protection, same type of protection that the kids would’ve wanted. Now he also gets a promotion. He’ll get his.

[umeumeume]

Rest in Peace to those angels.
Those cowards do not deserve any protection on the taxpayers dime. Knowing they let those children and teachers die and still have the nerve to look for sympathy. Disgusting and disgraceful.

I send all my thoughts love hugs and comfort to all the families affected by such horror...This kills my heart... I am so sorry
