The Latest: Sheriff: Lawmaker's letter 'riddled' with errors

NEW YORK (AP) — The Latest on the backlash against the National Rifle Association after a deadly school shooting in Florida (all times local):

10:30 p.m.

The Broward County, Florida, sheriff says a letter from a state lawmaker calling for his resignation after a mass school shooting is "riddled with factual errors, unsupported gossip and falsehoods."

Sheriff Scott Israel issued his response in a letter to Gov. Rick Scott that the sheriff's office released to the news media late Saturday.

Israel's letter responded individually to three points that state Rep. Bill Hager made. They included how his deputies responded to the shooting and the number of calls his office received from the home where the shooting suspect lived.

In his letter, Israel said he "would urge Rep. Hager to publicly apologize for helping to (spread) this false gossip and misinformation."
