Mr. Arredondo was arrested and charged with 10 counts of endangering children.
Hundreds of police officers have been criticized for their shortcomings in responding to the shooting on May 24, 2022. Officers left the 18-year-old gunman alone in a classroom with children for over an hour before deciding to confront him.

When the officers stormed in, the school had become the scene of one of the deadliest mass shootings in American history.
Another police officer, Adrian Gonzales, was also indicted by the grand jury. Gonzales has not been arrested, and no further details are available about him.
Federal and state investigations into the shooting have criticized police inaction. In May, the victims' families filed lawsuits against Meta, Activision Blizzard, and Microsoft, along with gun manufacturer Daniel Defense, alleging that they facilitated the marketing of weapons to young people.
In this bloody school shooting, 19 children and two teachers were killed on May 24, 2022, when an 18-year-old gunman armed with a Daniel Defense-manufactured rifle stormed into Robb Elementary School.
The gun-related death rate among American teenagers is 11 times higher than in France, 36 times higher than in Germany, and 121 times higher than in Japan.
