"I was misled," says Greg Abbott, in response to a question from the media about being told the wrong thing by police - although the question could not be heard.
The state has set up a"one stop shop" Family Assistance Centre for all victims - which means anyone associated with Robb Elementary School. Governor Abbott says of anyone who lives in the community"we believe that you would benefit from mental health care services. Those mental health care and services are free, we just want you to ask for them".
"We appreciate that anonymous donor for generosity and we will ensure those resources get into the right hands to make sure that no family who is suffering from incalculable heartbreak at this time will have to worry about a single cost with regard to anything concerning this travesty," says Governor Abbott. Following on from his pre-recorded statement to the NRA, Greg Abbott is now speaking live from Uvalde.
He adds that there are"thousands of laws on the books across the country that limit owning or using a firearm". Analysis: NRA comments 'predictable' The speech ran through"predictable" topics, including school security, mental health provisions and funding of the police, he adds. Referencing the Texas school shooting he adds:"We need to protect our schools because our children deserve at least, or infact more protection, than our banks, stadiums and government buildings. He cites a commonly used line among Republicans which blames a mental health crisis for continued mass shootings:"We also need to fully fund and fix our nation's broken mental health system.

'Absolutely horrendous' Piers Morgan slams 'horrific' Texas shooting as 19 children deadPIERS MORGAN has reacted to the 'horrific' shooting at a primary school in Uvalde, Texas, calling for America to 'do something to stop' similar incidents of gun violence in the future. Piers is right - tough new Laws need to be introduced in the USA to stop more horrific mass shootings and shootings in general. The gun Laws in America make it far too easy to obtain guns. Ban all semi-automatic weapons and raise the minimum age to legally own a gun is a start.

Texas police face backlash for '90-minute delay' at school shooting where 19 children diedPolice in Texas are facing criticism for their response to a school shooting where a gunman was barricaded inside for up to an hour before being killed. They didn't enter for 40 mins, but would happily hold back the parents. That is disgusting. Absurdly disgusting. I wonder how many of those parents defended the second amendment.
