Abbott’s direction to look at how to keep Texans safer, especially at schools.A special committee in the Texas House will investigate the police response the Uvalde school shooting that left 21 people dead.
As the sad funeral processions continue from the Robb Elementary School shooting in Uvalde that took the lives of 19 kids and two teachers, Gov. Greg Abbott is directing committees to look at how to better keep Texans safe, especially our schools."The goal is supposed to look at where we are as it relates to school safety in light of the fact that Texas is ground zero, unfortunately, of these domestic terrorist attacks on our schools," he explained.
"We've got to look at our mental health system again," he said. "We've got to look at the structure of our schools and the programming in our schools in order to keep kids safe. And we've got to look at the issue concerning weapons in the state of Texas."West says studies show people want action but is realistic about how far that action may go.
