Angry relatives of some of the children killed in the Robb Elementary School massacre are demanding that the acting police chief from that day, Lt. Mariano Pargas, quit his role as a Uvalde county commissioner.
“He was made aware that people were injured and dying and yet he did nothing. A young girl called 911 in room 112 asking for help and he simply left her and other people to die,” said Jesse Rizzo, citing exclusive CNN reporting from this week, at a Uvalde County Commission meeting where families lined up to criticize Pargas.
I’m here to ask today that he does the right thing and steps down,” said Berlinda Arreola, the grandmother of Amerie Jo Garza, who was killed at the age of 10. “By him showing up just proves my point. He was a coward that day and he’s cowardly now, that he couldn’t show face. He knew that we were going to be here today, and he made a wrong decision, again.
