Uvalde school district police chief Pete Arredondo, one of the first responders to last month's elementary school massacre, said he intentionally left his two radios behind when he ran into the building to try and stop the gunman, making it impossible for him to be in contact with most of the other officers on the scene throughout the entire situation.
In a phone interview with the Texas Tribune, Arredondo said he left two radios outside the school because he believed they would have slowed him down and that every second mattered.
One radio had a clip that may have fallen off his tactical belt, while another had an antenna that would have hit him as he ran, he told the Tribune.
However, the radios would have connected him to the campus and police networks, according to the outlet.
Arredondo said he also wanted both hands free to hold his gun so he could fire it more accurately.
Arredondo added that based on his prior experience, the radios didn't work well in some of the school buildings anyway, and that he would have turned them off in the hallways to avoid being detected by the gunman.
Still, Arredondo's admission raises questions as to how the hour-long ordeal might have been different if he'd been able to receive real-time information via radio.

BS! Total BS!
“Something is very wrong in that town.”
Yes. It is a traffic center for the Cartels.
That is like entering a battle zone.
48 lockdowns in a year? Well that is an indicator the police are certainly afraid of the Cartels. (they should be, but not of a 18 year old crazy)
The important question? Where did the money for the weapons come from? (total Silence)
“In a phone interview with the Texas Tribune”
There is nothing about the Texas Tribune that is reflective of what Texas is about.
They are not native, and largely preach the #ComDem Line.
Command, Control, Communications. Without Communications there is no Command & Control.
Slowed-down from eating donuts? What are we talking about here?
When General George S. Patton crossed the Rhine River the first time, frantic calls over the radio from the Supreme Commander to retreat, so that Montgomery could be the “first” to make the majestic move of the crossing. Patton complied. But he bitterly claimed, that if he had simply smashed all the radios first, he would have been in Berlin weeks earlier than the time the Soviets arrived.
Police everywhere know that nothing, but nothing, can outrun the radio. If it is used as it should be, anyway.
and none of the other 18 cops had a radio???
This student who survived the ordeal testifies at 00:35 seconds on this video that “then he shot the little window” in the classroom door. The classroom doors have windows.

Lying sack of shit cover-up scumbag.
Wow our sheriff where I work (he stops in to visit with us) wear a earpiece with his radio connected at his shoulder. Imagine that!!!

Why isn’t this man arrested and charged with 19 counts of murder? I wonder if his office and home will be raided by FBI in front of his wife and kids in middle of night. Nope.
The whole sad situation was a Keystone Cops event.
Why does this sound like “Just before the Little Big Horn, George Armstrong Custer left his Gatling Guns behind because he thought they would slow him down.”
he believed they would have slowed him down and that every second mattered.
Ummmm yeah buddy…nice try at deflection…in 78 minutes you could have driven back and gotten them and still do nothing…and stopped by for some doughnuts…
Pedro just keeps making up new stories.
True and devastating
After a couple of weeks to ‘get is story right’, this is the best he can come up with?
If he cops to this, what really bad stuff is he still covering up?
