Governor Greg Abbott cancels Houston National Rifle Association Convention appearance
Greg Abbott, the Republican governor of Texas, canceled plans to speak at the NRA convention in Houston after this week's Texas elementary school shooting.
According to the NRA convention website, Abbott was scheduled to appear at the NRA's annual leadership forum along with Texas Senator Ted Cruz and former President Donald Trump.
Representatives from local governments and state agencies are expected to attend Abbott's press conference, his office said.
However, he will instead hold a press conference at Uvalde High School at 3:30 p.m. on Friday following a briefing with state agencies, local officials, and members of the community on state resources available for those impacted by the shooting, according to a press release from his office.
