“I loved Garrett Foster. I thought we were going to grow old together,” said Whitney Mitchell, who referred to him as her husband though they were not legally married. “I am heartbroken by this lawlessness.

Mr. Foster’s mother said she saw Mr. Abbott’s pardon as an attack on the Second Amendment rights of Texans. “This is an open-carry state and my son wasn’t breaking the law,” she said.

She said that she planned to move out of the state. “I will not live here. I will not live somewhere where they say that is OK,” she said.
