UVALDE, Texas—“We were failed by Pete Arredondo,” Brett Cross, guardian of Uziyah Garcia, a Robb Elementary fourth grader who died in the May 24 mass shooting at the school, told the Uvalde, Texas, Consolidated Independent School District board on June 20.

“He killed our kids, teachers, parents, and city, and by keeping him on your staff, y’all are continuing to fail us.”
