"We are deeply distressed by the information that was disclosed yesterday evening concerning one of our recently hired employees, Crimson Elizondo," the district said in a statement, "We sincerely apologize to the victims' families and the greater Uvalde community for the pain that this revelation has caused." Editor's note: The video above originally aired on Oct. 5 before Elizondo was fired.
