difference it would have made with the shooter killing so many victims in such a short period of time. fast can you act? i >> don't know. i don't know how much of difference it would make. yeah. we know maybe they could have acted faster. >> remains to be seen. so much heartbreak out there. that was kareen wynter reporting for us. there is still no word on a motive for this shooting. texas governor greg abbott is expected to hold a news conference this afternoon at one 30. we will carry that for you live on our streaming service. kronon and our website kron 4 dot com. just days after this tragedy, the nra's national convention still in forward as planned in houston today. >> several high-profile conservatives are scheduled to appear, including former president donald trump. protesters gathered outside since yesterday calling for organizers to cancel this event. >> my kids are in second and
