   Uvalde, TX – On Monday, the state House committee investigating   
   the response to the mass murders at Robb Elementary will hear   
   testimony from responding law enforcement officers. It is the   
   third day of testimony in Uvalde.   
      
   The four officers scheduled to testify are Uvalde police chief   
   Daniel Rodriguez, UPD Sgt. Daniel Coronado, Uvalde CISD officer   
   Adrian Gonzalez, and Department of Public Safety Trooper Joshua   
   Bordovsky.   
      
   Testimony is held behind closed doors, meaning victims’   
   families, Uvalde community members and the media are not allowed   
   to hear what is said.   
      
   However, KPRC 2 Investigates has learned more about how police   
   responded, which is described as a “complete breakdown of   
   command control” by one state senator.   
      
   The shooting that led to the deaths of 19 children and two   
   teachers took place in two classrooms that were next door to   
   each other.   
      
   Investigators found that when police responded, officers did not   
   test the classroom doors to see if they were unlocked, instead   
   waiting to find a master key, according to State Senator Paul   
   Bettencourt, a Republican representing District 7.   
      
   “What we’re finding out is apparently there was an unopened   
   door...It’s really a sad reveal we found out about,” said   
   Bettencourt. “Apparently they were using keys on other doors to   
   find the master key.”   
      
   Bettencourt said it appeared the shooter was able to gain access   
   through one of the unlocked classroom doors. The door was left   
   untested afterwards by police.   
      
   “It’s another sad fact that’s come out of this tragedy that   
   we’ll have to have some serious ‘how to avoid’ in the future,”   
   said Bettencourt.   
      
   “Every time we hear more facts, it just makes the situation even   
   worse”   
   Experts have also been critical of the UCISD police chief about   
   details of the response to the school shooting.   
      
   Chief Pete Arredondo stated he left his police and school radios   
   behind when he entered the school, telling the Texas Tribune he   
   wanted his hands to be free during an active shooter situation.   
   Arredondo told the Tribune he didn’t hear that children inside   
   the classroom were calling 911 while officers waited outside.   
      
   Arredondo also told the Tribune that he did not consider himself   
   to be the incident commander, but instead was another first   
   responder.   
      
   “What’s been totally unexpected...is the complete breakdown of   
   command control from the police force side,” said Bettencourt on   
   Monday. “Why abandon the role as incident commander, why abandon   
   your radios? Clearly, just about the door situation, there   
   wasn’t any clear thinking to make sure both doors were tested.”   
      
   KPRC 2 Investigates reviewed Arredondo’s state records and found   
   he had dozens of hours of active shooter training and managing   
   critical incidents in the last three years.   
      
   KPRC 2 Investigates will be live with the latest from Uvalde at   
   4, 5 and 6 p.m.
