Update (1705ET): Texas Governor Greg Abbott (R) said he was 'misled' about the police response to the school shooting in Udvalde, and is 'livid about what happened.'
Gov. Greg Abbott on how what police initially told him (and the world) about their response to Ulvade was wrong: "I was misled. I am livid about what happened. I was on this very stage two days ago...telling the public information that had been told to me." pic.twitter.com/BNF1J9sF4F

In taped remarks delivered to the National Rifle Association's annual meeting in Houston on Friday, Abbott also said that there was no law that would have stopped the shooter from procuring a firearm before this week's elementary school shooting which left 19 children and two adults dead.
"There are thousands of laws on the books across the country that limit the owning or using of firearms, laws that have not stopped madmen from carrying out evil acts on innocent people in peaceful communities," he said, adding that the gunman committed a felony before "he even pulled the trigger" by carrying a gun on a school campus.
"Well, just as laws didn’t stop the killer, we will not let his evil acts stop us from uniting the community he tried to destroy," he added.

Update (1250ET): In a very emotional and defensive press conference this morning, Texas DPS Director Steven McCraw admitted said the decision of officers to wait to enter the building was the "wrong" one.
"In retrospect, from where I am sitting from right now, clearly there were kids in the room. It's important for live saving proposes to immediately get there and render aid," McCraw said.
"Of course it was not the right decision, it was the wrong decision."
