AUSTIN, Texas — An emotional Gov. Greg Abbott was interrupted by an equally emotional Beto O’Rourke as the Republican governor and other state officials sought Wednesday to discuss a school shooting in Uvalde a day earlier.
O’Rourke, Abbott’s Democratic rival in this year’s governor’s race, stepped forward to a lectern at Uvalde High School as Abbott was about to hand off the mic to Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick.
O’Rourke warned another mass slaying would happen. That’s because Texas officials have done nothing of substance on gun safety, he said.
