LIVE: Texas Gov. Abbott holds a press conference on the Uvalde elementary school shooting.

Police admitted to a stunning string of failures — including driving right by the gunman — in responding to the Texas school shooting while children were being massacred inside, with the head of the state’s Department of Public Safety saying the time for making excuses about the botched response was over.

Just two minutes later, at least three police officers entered the same door the gunman did. By 12:03 p.m., there were as many as 19 officers in the hallway. One student in room 112 called 911 at 12:03 p.m. She called back several times. At 12:16, she said there were “eight to nine students alive,” McCraw said.McCraw said the on-scene commander believed “this was a barricaded subject situation” and did not think there were “more children at risk.”

Pass.

Abbott says he got bad information and blames others. Takes NO RESPONSIBILITY. Refuses to relent about background checks or stricter ownership requirements. Says it’s solely a mental health issue, whose budget he cut by $211 million just last month. A fool!

Gun laws in Texas allowed Uvalde school shooter to legally purchase weapons'Texas allows people to carry guns in public without a permit and a background check,' said one expert. 'Generally speaking, Texas just has overall weaker laws than many states.' Wow what a stretch. 'Media lionizes mass shooters causing nut jobs to plan and carry out heinous acts.' Media created these monsters and continue to do so. The media is the enemy of the people. See how easy it is to create blame and push an agenda? Guns don’t kill people. People kill people. No laws will prevent someone that wants a gun from finding one. Look at Chicago some of the toughest laws yet every weekend people are shot. You can not control EVIL
