Texas Gov. Abbott issues retraction after calling mass shooting victims 'illegal immigrants' as manhunt widens
Here’s what we know about the search for the suspect and the backlash to the governor’s response.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s office issued a retraction on Monday after facing intense criticism over his assertion that all five victims of the deadly mass shooting in Cleveland, Texas, were “illegal immigrants” despite evidence that at least one was not.

Abbott announced Sunday that he was offering a $50,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of the shooter who he said “killed five illegal immigrants.”

The governor’s reference to their immigration status was met with immediate backlash from critics, who also noted that one of the victims, Diana Velazquez Alvarado, appeared to have been a permanent resident of the United States.

In a statement on Monday, Abbott spokeswoman Renae Eze said that “we’ve since learned that at least one of the victims may have been in the United States legally.”

“We regret if the information was incorrect and detracted from the important goal of finding and arresting the criminal,” Eze said, adding: “Any loss of life is a tragedy, and our hearts go out to the families who have lost a loved one.”

However, Abbott’s tweet referring to the victims as “illegal immigrants” was not deleted.

2. So ... now they've found him and Abbott doesn't have to pay $50G reward?

Because he retracted his sleazy lie, now he isn't required to pay the reward.
