The Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District on Monday released thousands of pages of documents tied to the 2022 Robb Elementary School massacre, ending a three-year legal battle with news organisations seeking public access. The cache includes emails among senior administrators, text messages exchanged by campus police on the day of the attack and the personnel file of former schools police chief Pete Arredondo, who ran the law-enforcement response. Academic and disciplinary records shed new light on gunman Salvador Ramos, 18, portraying a student who entered kindergarten described as a "motivated thinker" but spiralled into bullying incidents, poor grades and chronic absenteeism before dropping out seven months before the shooting that killed 19 children and two teachers. The disclosure follows a July 2025 decision by a Texas appeals court that upheld a lower-court order compelling the district to release the materials sought by the Associated Press and other outlets. District officials had resisted the requests since shortly after the 24 May 2022 attack. Many documents revisit details already documented in state and federal probes, including evidence that nearly 400 local, state and federal officers waited about 77 minutes before confronting the gunman. Arredondo and former officer Adrian Gonzales each face multiple counts of child endangerment and abandonment and are scheduled to stand trial later this year; both have pleaded not guilty.
