Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) said his earlier comments about the Uvalde shooting, in which he praised law enforcement for their response and argued the situation could have been worse, came from inaccurate information he was given from officials, arguing he was misled.

Im absolutely livid about that, Abbott said during a press conference Friday.

Abbott said that during a Wednesday press conference, he had repeated information he was told by law enforcement officials, initially commenting on their quick response. Details around the shooting and law enforcements delay in stopping the gunman continue to prove Abbotts initial comments, which touted officials running toward gunfire for the singular purpose of trying to save lives, wrong.

Law enforcement officials admitted Friday that officers waited more than 45 minutes before storming a classroom where a gunman killed 19 students and two teachers. Several students and teachers repeatedly called 911 during that time.
