The Uvalde City Council unanimously voted to deny newly elected Councilman Pete Arredondo a leave of absence Tuesday night in the wake of the Robb Elementary shooting.
Arredondo is also the chief of police for the Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District. He's facing national scrutiny for not confronting an active shooter who killed 19 school children and two teachers when he entered the school on May 24.
In recent weeks, law enforcement officials revealed that the children and teachers waited over an hour for officers to confront 18-year-old Salvador Ramos.
On Tuesday, Texas DPS Director Steven McCraw said Ramos could have been neutralized within minutes if Arredondo, the on-scene incident commander, had made the order to breach two classrooms where the children and teachers were waiting for help. Arredondo told the Texas Tribune in an interview that he didn't believe he was the incident commander.
