S6B4 Uvalde School Shooting Trial: Can Police Be Criminally Charged for Failing to Act?

Nearly four years after the Uvalde school shooting, an unprecedented criminal trial is underway.

In this episode of Stop the Killing Podcast, former FBI executive and prosecutor Katherine Schweit examines the prosecution of a responding officer charged with 29 felony counts of abandoning or endangering a child — not for what he did, but for what prosecutors argue he failed to do.

This fact-based episode explains how failure-to-act cases are judged, what prosecutors must prove, and why this trial could reshape accountability in active shooter responses.
