After school shooting, Texas governor calls off gun raffle

Texas Governor Greg Abbott has called off his re-election campaign's plans to raffle off a shotgun, in the aftermath of the school shooting that killed 10 people last week. The move came after 17-year-old high school student Dimitrios Pagourtzis was charged for gunning down fellow students and teachers at his rural school Friday in the conservative state. Gun ownership is a point of pride in Texas and legal restrictions on firearms are considered politically untenable.
