Abbott, earlier this week, praised police for their “quick response” to the mass shooting. “I was on this very stage two days ago, and I was telling the public information that had been told to me [by law enforcement]” he said. “As everybody has learned, the information I was given turned out in part to be inaccurate. I was absolutely livid about that.”
He should fire them all.
Texas Gov. Abbott ‘misled,’ ‘livid’ about cops’ delayed response to school shooting
exas Gov. Greg Abbott said Friday he’s “livid” that law enforcement “misled” him about their response to the mass shooting at Robb Elementary School.
“I was misled,” Abbott said at a press conference announcing various state resources for victims of the mass shooting Tuesday. “I am livid about what happened.”
Abbott — who earlier this week praised police for their “quick response” to the mass shooting — was grilled on whether he knew about cops deciding to not breach the door to the classroom where gunman Salvador Ramos killed 19 students and two teachers.
It took cops about an hour to get inside the classroom — and only after they got a key from a janitor to unlock the door, authorities said.
Abbott said information police initially gave him about the response time was inaccurate, leading him to release flawed details to the public on Wednesday.
“I was on this very stage two days ago, and I was telling the public information that had been told to me [by law enforcement]” he said. “As everybody has learned, the information I was given turned out in part to be inaccurate. I was absolutely livid about that.”
He added, “There are people who deserve answers the most, and those are the families whose lives have been destroyed. They need answers that are accurate. It is inexcusable that they may have suffered from any inaccurate information whatsoever.”
Abbott’s comments came hours after Texas police admitted at a press conference that they made the “wrong decision” by waiting outside a classroom where 19 students and two teachers were killed.
Steven McCraw, director of the state’s Department of Public Safety, said “there’s no excuse” for law enforcement failing to intervene while Ramos wreaked havoc.
