Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said Friday he’s “livid” that law enforcement “misled” him about their response to the mass shooting at Robb Elementary School.

“I was misled,” Abbott said at a press conference announcing various state resources for victims of the mass shooting Tuesday. “I am livid about what happened.”

Abbott — who earlier this week praised police for their “quick response” to the mass shooting — was grilled on whether he knew about cops deciding to not breach the door to the classroom where gunman Salvador Ramos killed 19 students and two teachers.

It took cops about an hour to get inside the classroom — and only after they got a key from a janitor to unlock the door, authorities said.


Abbott’s comments came hours after Texas police admitted at a press conference that they made the “wrong decision” by waiting outside a classroom where 19 students and two teachers were killed.


Police had been ordered to wait for a specialized team of federal officers. Ramos had been at the school for more than an hour, McCraw said.

“Of course it was not the right decision,” McCraw said. “It was the wrong decision.”

On Wednesday, a day after the massacre, Abbott, 64, praised law enforcement for their “quick response” and preventing a worse tragedy.
