Uvalde HS notified phone threat to UCISD police chief after Robb Elementary shooting, records show

Uvalde High School received threats over the phone the day before the 2022 Robb Elementary School shooting, according to documents released by the Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District.

In an email sent at 5:48 p.m. on May 24, 2022, a Uvalde High School receptionist told then-UCISD Police Chief Pete Arredondo that she received two calls on May 23, 2022.

In those two calls, at 4:30 p.m. and 4:46 p.m., a male caller asked the receptionist: “You know your school just got f—— shot up right? How did that feel?”

The receptionist described the caller to Arredondo as a “boy” who “sounded young, maybe 17-18 years old.”

The shooting suspect made entry into a classroom at the school and began shooting at 11:33 a.m. on May 24, 2022, according to school surveillance video.

Arredondo forwarded the email at 5:37 a.m. on June 1, 2022.

The recipient of the email was redacted, but Arredondo wrote he was also forwarding it to his “admin.”
