The School District in Uvalde, Texas, has suspended its entire police force following protests by parents of children killed in a shooting there.

The former head of The Police department for the School District , Pete Arredondo, was fired in August. He was one of The First officers on The Scene That Day , and received much of the blame for the botched response.
The Texas Department of Public Safety has said that Mr Arredondo wrongly told officers under his command to treat The Situation As If they were dealing with a barricaded gunman rather than an active shooter, which would have prompted a more urgent enforcement Reaction .
