I was wrong. I apologize.

[Jim H - VA USA]

Shortly after today's shooting, I posted that the incident looked like a publicity stunt. At the time, I based my belief on the fact that he had a wall of spectators in the bleachers behind and around him, and no one had yet mentioned any of them being injured after all those shots. I was also doubtful that the noise canceling microphone would be able to pick up the shots so clearly at a distance. It has since been reported that one viewer was killed, and others were wounded. Obviously, my early beliefs were wrong, and I unreservedly acknowledge that it was not a staged event, and I apologize for making a quick judgement on incomplete information. I will try to avoid that in the future.

It's good to be skeptical, because there is so much fake news these days.

But it's also important to think, unlike these people...
