Abbott: One Thing We Need to Take Away from Shooting Is that Evil Exists in the World

EXCERPT:

ABBOTT: "Well, again, it's important that we learn what the information was and what, if anything, happened to allow him to get a gun. But, I mean, Chris, remember this, and that is, at the time this crime occurred, killing was illegal in the state of Texas. It's the same kind of thing that you saw in New York just last week where -- whether -- it wasn't a gun that was used, it was a truck that was used to mow down people in a bike lane. Same thing happened in London where you had people using bombs to blow up a concert area or knives to stab people. Chris, there's one thing that we need to take away from this, and that is, evil exists in the world. You talked about the Gospel earlier. And you go back to the beginnings of the Bible, to the time of the Gospel and afterwards, and that is, there is evil in this world that we must confront. And the way and the attitude that the people of Sutherland Springs had last night is the best way to confront this evil is by using the forces of God to confront and overcome this evil."
