After three months after community outrage, the Uvalde school police chief has been fired

Pete Arredondo was the police chief responsible for law enforcement on the day 19 students and two teachers were gunned down in Uvalde.

The 24 May shooting at Robb Elementary School in Texas revived U.S. debate around gun protections and violence.

Arredondo was terminated at a private gathering, where the Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District’s board voted unanimously to end his contract. He did not attend the meeting over fears around his safety.

His attorney released a 17-page statement in which a request was made to “respectfully reinstate him”.

Arredondo’s departure follows the victim’s families demanding his resignation.

“If law enforcement’s job is to protect and serve, why didn’t they protect and serve my friends and teachers on May 24?”
ONE STUDENT ASKED THE BOARD

The chief Arredondo said he “does not believe the planned district meeting is safe”.

His attorney requested he should be able to exercise his “state rights to be armed”.

Israel and Hamas agree to release hostages in U.S.-brokered deal, marking a potential turning point in Gaza conflict.

In a major diplomatic breakthrough, Israel and Hamas have agreed to release all remaining Israeli hostages under a U.S.-brokered framework. The deal pairs prisoner exchanges with an Israeli troop pullback and expanded aid access, marking a potential turning point in the two-year Gaza conflict.

The agreement, set for approval by Israel’s cabinet, could pave the way for lasting peace if both sides uphold the terms. It follows weeks of negotiations led by U.S. envoys and regional mediators in Egypt, Qatar, and Türkiye.

As international agencies prepare to facilitate aid and logistics, the world watches to see whether this fragile deal can hold and bring relief to millions affected by the war.
