Brandon Bell/Getty Images, FILE (CLEVELAND, Texas) -- After Texas GOP Gov. Greg Abbott faced backlash for what critics called an effort to "dehumanize" the victims of a mass shooting in his home state over the weekend, a spokesperson appeared to walk back Abbott's remark in a statement to ABC News on Monday afternoon. The spokesperson claimed federal authorities had told "the state of Texas" that the shooting suspect and victims "were in the country illegally" but that they have since learned at least one of the victims "may have been in the United States legally" -- and that they "regret" if the information was an incorrect distraction.

An animation starting with unconnected satellites shows how an autonomous constellation developed by Sandia National Laboratories, the Air Force Research Laboratory and others could work together during national security missions. (Image by Eric Lundin) Click on the thumbnail for a higher resolution GIF. Imagine a satellite observing ships on the ocean. As it takes pictures of each ship, an algorithm decides what kind of vessel it is. But one sneaky sailor paints a pattern on the deck that confuses the satellite, so it can't decide what it's looking at.

The Russian defence ministry said in a statement that a "combat crew successfully launched an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) of a mobile ground-based missile system" from its Kapustin Yar test site on Tuesday. "The missile's training warhead hit a mock target at the Sary-Shagan training ground (Republic of Kazakhstan) with given precision," it added.
