An acquittal in the first Texas trial over the hesitant police response to the Robb Elementary school mass shooting leaves prosecutors facing decisions about the case against Uvalde’s former schools police chief.

A former Uvalde schools police officer who was among the first to respond to the mass shooting at a Texas elementary school has been acquitted of criminal charges that he failed his duty to confront the gunman.

Trials for two Uvalde, Texas school police officers facing charges over the law enforcement response to the 2022 Robb Elementary school shooting have been delayed.

Officials say two Harris County Jail inmates died last week after being hospitalized with preexisting medical conditions.

Robert Soliz, 24, was arrested Tuesday and charged with murder in connection with Monday’s slaying of HPD Sgt. Looney said that while he was driving on Interstate 10 Katy Freeway, he was surrounded by a fleet of law enforcement vehicles that forced him to pull over. Looney said that action indicates that HPD is not the agency that should be investigating the case. “Whenever you are that close to the situation, your emotions run hot and your logic runs short,” Looney said. He said he believes Soliz is innocent of murder and that Soliz and Rios never encountered each other before Monday.
