A Uvalde County Sheriff Deputy and father of one of the Uvalde shooting victims has declined to meet Texas Governor Greg Abbott after asking elected officials to ban AR-15 rifles.
Deputy Felix Rubio arrived on the scene of the school massacre in time to see agents shoot and kill gunman Salvador Ramos, 18, but his fellow officers did not let him enter the room where his daughter died.
Now, Deputy Rubio and his wife are asking for legislators to ban weapons that could lead to a similar tragedy, in the hope of sparing other parents their pain.
Mr Rubio said others in the Uvalde County Sheriff’s Office would go against him for supporting gun restrictions.
Abbott’s office contacted the family on Wednesday to ask if they would be willing to sit down with the governor, but the beavered family turned him down.
