State Sen. Roland Gutierrez, a Democrat who represents Uvalde, said Gov. Greg Abbott has “done nothing” to help the community after a gunman killed 19 children and two teachers on May 24.

Gutierrez, in an interview on CNN Monday, blasted Abbott for declining to visit the town, attend funerals or spearhead investigations following the shooting. He said the governor has not visited Uvalde since the early days after the massacre, missing the community’s outrage and grief as it becomes clear that the police response to the shooting was mishandled.

“(Abbott) has the direct power to go and ask for accountability, the direct power to go ask, ‘What happened here? Why didn’t you tell people to go in? Why didn’t your supervisors tell people go in?’ ” Gutierrez said. “He has the direct power to get any kind of report that he wants. He's the governor of the state of Texas, and he has refused to step in. … He hasn’t been back to Uvalde, and he’s refused to ask for any kind of accountability here.”

His comments came on the heels of a Texas House committee report showing that nearly 400 law enforcement officers responded to the shooting at Robb Elementary School but none confronted the gunman for more than an hour. Some likely knew people inside the classrooms were injured and needed help.
