PRIOR COVERAGE: Uvalde victim's sister has courtroom outburst

An outburst from the courtroom gallery led to a warning from the judge at the trial for a former Uvalde police officer. The case rests on whether Adrian Gonzales did what he was trained to do when responding to the massacre at Robb Elementary School. But the judge said any more disruptions could lead to a mistrial.

The backstory:

So far in the trial, witness testimony has been heard from former teachers who sheltered in classrooms and district employees who were on the scene during the mass shooting at Robb Elementary School. Forensic experts and federal agents have also weighed in on video from the shooting and evidence examined at the scene. 

Relatives of victims in the shooting have shared their stories as well. Tuesday, the sister of a victim made an emotional outburst in court, causing a disturbance in which she was escorted from the building. 

Uvalde shooting trial: Outburst in the courtroom

During Tuesday's testimony, just after a witness was excused from the stand, a woman made an outburst in the gallery. She was escorted from the courtroom. Afterwards, the judge talked about how outbursts like that would give him no choice but to call a mistrial. 

Nearly 400 officers responded to the school on May 24, 2022. More than 70 minutes passed before a tactical team entered, killing the shooter.
