Texas Governor says he was ``misled'' about the police response

Texas Governor Greg Abbott says he was ``misled'' about the police response to the shooting at the elementary school in Uvalde, and he's ``livid.'' In his earlier statements, the governor told a news conference, he was repeating what he had been told, and the information was inaccurate. Abbott said the response needs to be ``thoroughly, exhaustively'' investigated. 21 people were killed Tuesday when an 18-year-old gunman barricaded himself in a fourth-grade classroom at Robb Elementary School in the southwestern Texas town.
