Gov. Greg Abbott speaks during a press conference a day after the Uvalde school shooting in May. On Monday, he appointed John P. Scott, a former Secret Service agent, to serve as the first chief of school safety and security, a position the governor created after the mass shooting.
Scott formerly served as a Secret Service agent in the Vice Presidential Protective Division from 2006 and 2010 during the administrations of George W. Bush and Barack Obama, according to his LinkedIn profile. He later helped lead the Secret Service field office in Dallas. Abbott directed the TEA to create the position four months ago in June, just over two weeks after the Robb Elementary School shooting in Uvalde.
Since the shooting in May, Uvalde parents have called to raise the age to buy semi-automatic rifles — the kind of guns that the Uvalde gunman bought immediately after his 18th birthday in May — from 18 to 21. In August, Abbott said it would be “unconstitutional” to raise the age, citing a federal ruling that Texas cannot ban 18- to 20-year-olds from carrying handguns.
