My expectation is that the law enforcement leaders that are leading the investigations which includes the Texas Rangers and the FBI, they get to the bottom of every fact with absolute certainty.

Texas will not let that happen.

It takes a big person to do something like that. It takes a brave person to do something like that. And do I think these men are brave people? No, I don’t.

He shot and killed horrifically and comprehensively 14 students and killed a teacher. The shooter, he is -- he himself is deceased and is believed that responding officers killed him.

In addition to the students and the faculty, there were three officers who were injured who all remain in good condition.

We will continue to discuss with the legislators about all the potential avenues and pathways that we can take to make sure that schools will be even safer going forward.

Evil swept across Uvalde yesterday. Anyone who shoots his grandmother in the face has to have the evil in his heart. But it is far more evil for someone to gun down little kids.
