Texas Governor Greg Abbott received backlash on social media for posting a lighthearted tweet rather than issuing a public statement following a mass shooting that left five people dead in Cleveland, Texas. Three of the victims were female, including an eight-year-old boy, and were reportedly killed after asking their neighbor, 39-year-old Francisco Oropeza, to stop shooting in his front yard. Oropeza is currently at large and considered armed and dangerous. Abbott’s official Twitter account instead shared a photo of his dog with the caption “All smiles for the weekend” several hours after the shooting. Parents of victims from previous mass shootings in the state were among those criticizing Abbott’s response. The Governor’s office has not yet issued a statement. At least 174 mass shootings have occurred in the US so far this year, according to the Gun Violence Archive.
