Greg Abbott said Friday that he is \u201clivid\u201d at police officials\u2019 inaccurate reports surrounding the Robb Elementary School massacre.<\/p>\n<p>Abbott <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2022\/05\/27\/greg-abbott-cancels-nra-convention-appearance-uvalde-shooting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">canceled<\/a> his scheduled appearance at the National Rifle Association (NRA) Annual Leadership Forum to hold the press conference in Uvalde, Texas, just days after the shooting that killed 19 children and 2 fourth-grade teachers. Abbott initially praised law enforcement\u2019s response to the shooting, until new information came out this week contradicting initial reports.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was misled,\u201d Abbott said. \u201cI am livid about what happened. I was on this very stage two days ago and I was telling the public information that had been told to me in a room a few yards behind where we\u2019re located right now. I wrote down hand notes in detail about what everybody in that room told me in sequential order about what happened. And when I came out here on that stage and told the public what happened, it was a recitation of what people in that room told me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs everybody has learned, the information that I was given turned out, in part, to be inaccurate,\u201d he continued. \u201cAnd I\u2019m absolutely livid about that. And here\u2019s my expectation. My expectation is that the law enforcement leaders that are leading the investigations, which includes the Texas rangers and the FBI, they will get to the bottom of every fact with absolute certainty.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The governor said it is \u201cinexcusable\u201d that the victims\u2019 families were fed inaccurate information by officials investigating the incident.<strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2022\/05\/25\/abbott-bashes-gun-reform-says-chicago-efforts-have-proven-ineffective\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">(RELATED: Abbott Bashes Gun Reform, Says Chicago Efforts Have Proven Ineffective)\u00a0<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are people who deserve answers the most, and those are the families whose lives have been destroyed,\u201d the governor continued. \u201cThey need answers that are accurate and it is inexcusable that they may have suffered from any inaccurate information whatsoever. And it is imperative that the leaders of the investigations about exactly what happened get down to the very second of exactly what happened with 100 percent accuracy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Initial reports from officials and police surrounding the shooting proved to be inconsistent which raised questions from the public on the events that took place. Police officials initially said that the gunman, Salvador Ramos, <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2022\/05\/25\/texas-shooter-armed-school-guard-uvalde-texas\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">encountered<\/a> an armed security guard before entering the school building. Texas Department of Safety (DPS) regional director Victor Escalon <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2022\/05\/26\/texas-police-official-uvalde-shooter-not-confront-armed-guard\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">told<\/a> reporters Thursday that those reports are inaccurate.<\/p>\n<p>DPS director Steven McCraw <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2022\/05\/27\/reporter-texas-steven-mccraw-kids-saved-uvalde-shooting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">said<\/a> Friday that 19 officers were inside the building from 11:44 a.m. to 12:57 p.m. as they awaited for more equipment to arrive in order to perform a \u201ctactical breach\u201d inside the room. Ramos <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2022\/05\/26\/texas-gunman-uvalde-salvador-ramos\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">barricaded<\/a> the room for 30-60 minutes before police entered.<\/p>\n<p>Of course it was not the right decision, it was the wrong decision, period,\u201d McCraw said. \u201cThere\u2019s no excuse for that. But again, I wasn\u2019t there, but I\u2019m just telling you from what we know, that we believe there should\u2019ve been an entry as soon as you can. When there\u2019s an active shooter, the rules change. It\u2019s no longer a barricaded subject, you don\u2019t have time. You don\u2019t worry about outer perimeters.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Several children <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2022\/05\/27\/us\/texas-shooting-911-call-press-conference.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">called<\/a> 911 as police waited outside the room.
