Uvalde ISD Police Chief resigns from city council

The news via the Uvalde Leader News:

Pete Arredondo told the Uvalde Leader-News on Friday that he is resigning from his seat on the Uvalde City Council. Arredondo, the Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District police chief, was elected to the District 3 council position on May 7 and was sworn into the role on May 31, days after the May 24 mass shooting at Robb Elementary School, where 21 people died.

Arredondo maintains he was not the incident commander that day. Community members as well as the Texas Department of Public Safety director Steven McCraw have criticized Arredondo and other law enforcement officers for waiting more than an hour to enter classrooms where the shooter and injured and dying students and teachers were located.
