Blood, Drag Marks, And A Child's Shoe — What Uvalde Jurors Saw Inside Room 111 | Gonzales Trial
Description
Former Texas Ranger Juan Torrez took the stand Friday in the trial of ex-Uvalde CISD police officer Adrian Gonzales, showing jurors crime scene photographs from Room 111 at Robb Elementary School.
Torrez, who was assigned to photograph the classroom where 19 children were killed on May 24, 2022, described finding pools of blood, drag marks, bloodstained desks and textbooks, and a tennis shoe covered in blood. The gunman's rifle was recovered from a closet with a "hellfire" trigger device attached.
Investigators used trajectory rods to show the direction of gunfire. The evidence indicated the shooter fired downward through desks at students sheltering underneath. Judge Harle warned the courtroom the images would be "shocking and gruesome" before they were displayed.
Gonzales faces 29 counts of child endangerment for allegedly failing to engage the shooter despite being first on scene and knowing his location. The defense maintains he acted appropriately given the chaos and that only the deceased gunman bears responsibility.
Trial resumes Monday with approximately 50 more witnesses expected.
