Top Story with Tom Llamas - May 25 | NBC News NOW

He bought the guns with Governor's permission! He bought the guns legally!!! Abbott- dont blame the shooter. You made easy for him to obtain horrible rifles. Yea, it is terribly sad but he the shooter is not the only one to blame. Who signed the gun laws???

the one mother words should be immortalized… When she said…how unlucky I am to live in a country that allows this to keep happening…I never heard anything more true in my entire life

We love you Tom Llamas...you do a great job...sending you love...be safe

This is just heartbroken. Look at those pure souls.. It's crazy that the "strongest" country cannot protect children because of the greed and bravado of grownups.

Hello Abbott, so you said the shooter had an evil in his heart? Yes but what did you have in your head when you signed gun laws so anybody can have access to buy terrible guns?? what went through your head? The shooter is not the only one to blame- YOU signed the laws!!

Several cops watched as that 18 yr old monster entered the elementary school. A school that ALSO has an armed security officer on site. Apparently, there was an initial conflict and these “good cops” did not stop that monster from entering that school. These “good guys” WATCHED as that monster locked himself in and began to slaughter these children. They LISTENED to him murder these children, HEARD their cries of terror and DID NOTHING! These “good guys” WAITED for over an hour before they began their siege. These “good guys” have just as much blood on their hands as that monster does.

Excuses from governor Gregg Abbott and shifting blame, comparing with other states. Schools are for learning, not for living in fear or defending.

I would literally lose my mind! I send prayers of strength and through the grace of God healing to the victims families to help them get through this..🙏🙏❤❤

I'm going to move a different country! This country is not safe for my kids!!

I feel so sorry for these families. I don't understand how an 18 year old can just go out and buy guns? I guess being from Canada I will never understand that.

How could you have class again where such a horrible act took place

Lester has integrity and I love that. The town is complaining about how awful and attacking the media has been all day and we have Lester checking in and asking if they’re ok and making sure they’ve talked to the trauma therapists.

No one is in mourning. Quit lying. You'll go on with your life like it's nothing. To the next one. Then pretend again. You will only shed a tear if you lose your gun.

No one should own guns. Period!

26:27 ...WITHOUT A LICENSE??? GOODBYE GOV ABBOTT!!! 🤧🤧🤧 NO EXCUSE YOU COME UP WITH IS VALID AT ALL ✍️✍️✍️✍️✍️✍

I think all the media should leave the suspect's family alone--they live in the same neighborhood and they ain't want this happen to their neighbors. Definitely they cannot imagine the horror of losing a family member, but they already live in the guilty, although they didn't do anything wrong--how they gonna face their neighbors in future, how they gonna live there continuously???they cannot and they may leave and pay the price they are not supposed to pay. I am HEARTBROKEN because all these innocent children died from the cruelty of a coward, but the shooter's guilty doesn't qualify anyone to blame his innocent families. Really. if the public wants to blame someone to take out their anger, blame this country's law system, this country's president, this state's governor, and blame the society.

The governor could have prevented this

"Get a SGT or LT when you call the cops?" LOLz! Good luck w/ that.

big business have too many politicians in their pocket. It's been like that for a long time.

PRAY FOR CHANGE, ACTION TAKE ACTION ENOUGH IS ENOUGH
