Governor’s Order Enhances Readiness on Military Bases
By ED STERLING
AUSTIN — Gov. Greg Abbott on July 18 authorized Adjutant General John Nichols of the Texas National Guard to arm personnel at military
facilities across Texas. Abbott’s action comes following the July 16 shooting on two military facilities in Chattanooga, Tenn., that resulted in the deaths
of four U.S. Marines and one U.S. Navy sailor. A suspect was killed at the scene. An investigation is in progress.
