Uvalde district chief of police fired over shooting

The school board in Uvalde, Texas, voted unanimously on Tuesday evening to fire the school district’s embattled police chief for his much-criticized handling of the shooting rampage that killed 19 children and two teachers in the city three months ago.

Lawyers for the fired chief, Pete Arredondo, said in a written statement that the school district had not carried out any type of investigation that should have led to his dismissal.
