Texas Governor to Hold Talks On School Violence After Massacre

Description

On Monday, Texas Governor Greg Abbott was set to hold a series of meetings on how to combat school violence, three days after a 17-year-old killed 10 people in the fourth-deadliest mass shooting at a public school in modern U.S. history. Abbott said he would talk with educators, parents and elected officials about ways to improve school security without infringing on the right to bear arms. Abbott continued to say that “We need to do more than just pray for the victims and the families."
