Uvalde Police Chief Resigns After Report Clears Officers in School Shooting Response

The resignation follows a controversial report that found Uvalde officers did not violate policy during the Robb Elementary massacre, sparking outrage among victims' families.

Uvalde Police Chief Daniel Rodriguez resigns, effective April 6, following a report that cleared local officers of wrongdoing in the Robb Elementary School shooting response.
The resignation comes amid ongoing criticism and calls for accountability from victims' families and community members over the police response to the massacre.
A city-commissioned report by investigator Jesse Prado found that Uvalde officers did not violate policy or commit serious acts of misconduct during the shooting.
The report's findings have been met with outrage and disbelief by families of the victims, who demand further action and accountability.
Nearly 400 law enforcement officers from various agencies waited 77 minutes before confronting the gunman, leading to criticism of a failed leadership and response.
