In light of the tragic shooting in Newton Connecticut today, this afternoon Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott issued the following statement:
“The senseless and cowardly shooting in Connecticut reminds us all of the vigilance we must maintain to protect our children in their schools. I pray for the victims, their families and the Newtown community as they deal with this horrendous tragedy.
As a board member of the Texas School Safety Center, I am committed to making sure educators, students and law enforcement are working together to prepare Texas schools for the unthinkable. We must not wait until it’s too late to act. We remind all schools to review their school safety plan to ensure they have proper procedures to keep students and campuses safe.”
