CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas (AP) \u2014 A Texas prosecutor urged a jury Wednesday to convict one of the first police officers on the scene of the deadly Robb Elementary School attack<\/a> in Uvalde and send a message that law enforcement must fulfill their duty<\/a> to protect when a gunman threatens children.<\/p>\n

Adrian Gonzales<\/a>, a former Uvalde schools officer, is the first officer to stand trial over the hesitant police response<\/a> to the 2022 massacre, when a teenage gunman killed 19 fourth-graders and two teachers in one of the deadliest school shootings in U.S. history.<\/p>\n
