Witness testimony ended Tuesday in the trial of a former Uvalde, Texas, school police officer accused of failing in his duty<\/a> to stop a gunman in the critical first minutes of the 2022 Robb Elementary School attack<\/a>, setting up the case to go to the jury.<\/p>\n

Defense lawyers for Adrian Gonzales<\/a> rested their case after calling just two witnesses, including a police tactics expert to bolster their claim that Gonzales did the best he could after driving onto campus amid a chaotic scene.<\/p>\n
