Texas governor walks back shooting comment

The office of Texas governor Greg Abbott is walking back statements he made about victims of a mass shooting in San Jacinto County after receiving new information. Governor Greg Abbott's office noted in a press release Sunday announcing a $50,000 reward for Francisco Oropesa, 38, "who is in the country illegally and killed five illegal immigrants in a shooting Friday night in Cleveland, Texas." In a recent email issued by Renae Eze, a spokesperson for Gov. Abbott, the statements were retracted after learning one of the victims was, in fact, a U.S. citizen.
