Later that morning, reporters from CNN were threatened with arrest after they sought to speak with Uvalde school district spokeswoman Anne Marie Espinoza.
The door to the central office was closed on them, and a short while later about eight police cars showed up at the office. "The school district office called the police to ask the media to leave their property," Prokupecz wrote. Arredondo was said to be at the office.
Uvalde police officers alleged that the news crew was "trespassing" on Uvalde public school district property. The journalists then moved into the street and were told they would be arrested for trespassing if they stepped back onto the property.
At the end of the workday, around 6 p.m., San Antonio Express-News reporter Guillermo Contreras tweeted that the police were still there to "keep guard" as members of the media waited for Arredondo.

The banner headline in Thursday's Express-News may be one of the reasons why: "Officials brace for lawsuits."
In recent days there have been conflicting statements about Arredondo's cooperation with the Texas Department of Public Safety, which says it is leading the investigation into the shooting.
On Wednesday, after CNN made multiple inquiries to the department about Arredondo, a spokesman said the DPS is still leading the investigation but added that DPS is now deferring media questions to the District Attorney in Uvalde. So Prokupecz and other reporters tried to speak with the D.A., Christina Mitchell Busbee, on Thursday morning. She ignored their questions. "There's a lot of information that needs to come out," Prokupecz said right before she closed the car door.

What happened is a man grabbed a gun and ran in and killed the sick MF’r while the rest of the police stood by posing in their body armor.
The usual crap. Gotta get their ‘stories’ straight.
They would have shot him first!
That this is coming from CNN is significant. Normally they don’t ask uncomfortable questions to other Democrats.
This is why I don’t believe Public Employee’s should ever have the right to remain silent, it should be a FELONY for a Public Employee to refuse to answer questions and they should be terminated immediately at the very least
Law suits galore are arising I’d guess. Thus they don’t want
anything into the public arena until the court convenes to try
any actions. JMO
Even though I wasn’t there, and even though I’m not a cop, blahblahblah, etc., I think it is becoming clear that the Uvalde cops really screwed this one up.
I would avoid them too - the media wil only reconstruct anything they say to fit the narrative they want.

I didn’t think you could be trespassed from public property unless you first committed a crime. An the CNN news crew committed no crime. To the contrary, they had solid 1A protection for what they were doing.
The CNN folks should have stood their ground here.
Getting their stories straight and waiting on the checks to clear from the DNC so they can pay lawyers..No amount of Ajax will scrub these Cops clean..
I’m still waiting to hear where this 18-year-old poor teen got the money to buy those weapons.
Yes, total mess. Coward police, and illegal alien killer, and they all wanna hide and not talk about it.
They’re trying to get their stories straight for the lawsuits and investigations 🤪
(yes, I know, all hear-say)
...that He had a credit card.
They have new owners.
“and illegal alien killer”
Known fact?
Or hyperbole?
Facts matter, so do words, and We need to be better than the MSM.
It is interesting the D.A. is in charge of the investigation.
Which makes one question their subtext. Marxist MSM makes it clear that the story is never the story.
Yeah, and Chief Pete is a city councilman now - bet that first council meeting will be a blast to attend, perhaps literally.
