Controversy Surrounds Texas Shooting Victims' Identities

Texas Governor Greg Abbott faced backlash for referring to the victims of a mass shooting in Texas as "illegal immigrants." The shooting killed five people, including a 9-year-old boy, and the suspected gunman is still at large. Critics accused Abbott of "dehumanizing" the victims and turning the tragedy into a political issue. The governor's office later issued a statement acknowledging that at least one of the victims may have been in the US legally. The shooting is one of several that have occurred under Abbott's tenure, and he has faced criticism for his handling of gun control and immigration issues.
