Mariano Pargas, Uvalde's acting police chief during the mass shooting that killed 19 students and two teachers, resigned amid increasing rumors of termination.
Several Uvalde residents have been urging Pargas to resign, most recently during this week’s county commissioners meeting: “You’ve brought shame to the community,” said an uncle of Jackie Cazares, one of the children killed in the shooting. Pargas, who is also a commissioner, was not present at the meeting.to ABC News.
The confirmation likely comes as cold comfort to victims’ loved ones and the community at large, who’ve speculated since the immediate aftermath of the May 24 mass shooting that law enforcement could’ve done more.
