His lawyer wrote that, with the shooter dead, the victims' families had been taking out their anger on Uvalde police chief Pete Arredondo.

The decision by the Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District Board came three months after 21 were shot and killed at Robb Elementary School.

The county coroner said the gunman's body was in a morgue for three weeks before an out-of-town funeral home offered to take the remains.

Mandy Gutierrez was put on paid administrative leave, her attorney said. A report said school leadership knew of the broken lock but it wasn't fixed.

Employees told a House committee investigating the events of the May 24 shooting that the repeated alerts resulted in a diminished sense of vigilance.

"I care about Pete. I care that he's mentally OK," a friend of Arredondo's told The Associated Press, but also called for "consequences."

According to a meeting agenda, the school board will discuss "termination for good cause as recommended by the Superintendent" at a weekend meeting.

Uvalde Superintendent Hal Harrell announced the board's plans during a heated public forum on Monday as scores of community members shared grievances.

He had previously said he did not have his radios because he thought they would slow him down, thwarting communication with officers during the event.

A report from the Texas House of Representatives highlighted chilling examples of the Uvalde gunman being nicknamed "school shooter."

Lt. Mariano Pargas was put on administrative leave by the city's mayor after a report by Texas lawmakers was made public.

"It's a joke. They're a joke. They've got no business wearing a badge. None of them do," said the grandfather of Layla Salazer, one of the victims.

Leaked security footage shows the student seeing the gunman from around the corner before running away to safety.

"A lot of it was embarrassing to see," Javier Cazares said. "People on their cell phones and texting. Another gentleman put hand sanitizer in his hands..."

Footage released by the Austin American-Statesman shows Uvalde police did not engage with the shooter who killed 21 people for more than 77 minutes.

Arnie Reyes, a fourth-grade teacher at Robb Elementary School told CNN that he felt forgotten by law enforcement.

A report from Texas State University said police missed a chance to disable "or at least distract" the gunman before he entered Robb Elementary School.

"I regret to inform those who voted for me that I have decided to step down as a member of the city council for District 3," he told local news.

Local and state officials have come under fire for a lack of transparency in the aftermath of the shooting that left 21 dead, including 19 kids.
