Camp Mystic halts summer reopening after Texas flood deaths

Decision follows pressure from lawmakers and families as investigations continue into response to deadly disaster

Camp Mystic, the Christian summer camp in Texas where 27 campers and counselors died in a catastrophic flood last year, has halted plans to reopen this summer, after months of intensifying pressure and outrage by state leaders and victims' families.

In a statement on Thursday, the camp said: No administrative process or summer season should move forward while families continue to grieve, while investigations continue and while so many Texans still carry the pain of last July's tragedy."
