Look back at Uvalde school shooting victims mourned across the nation

Updated Jan. 21, 2026, 9:48 p.m. ET
A Texas jury acquitted a former police officer of all criminal child-endangerment charges on Wednesday, Jan. 21, stemming from his role in the botched law enforcement response to the 2022 Uvalde school shooting. Adrian Gonzales, 52, who belonged to the Uvalde school district police force, had faced 29 counts of child endangerment for what prosecutors said was his failure to stop a gunman in the first minutes of one of the deadliest school shootings in U.S. history. Gonzales pleaded not guilty. Look back as the victims are remembered.
