The mainstream media helped to create mass hysteria, sending gun-control freaks into overdrive after OUS Emergency Management reported an “active shooter” situation with this tweet: 

Buckeye Alert: Active Shooter on campus. Run Hide Fight. Watts Hall. 19th and College.

— OSU Emergency Mngmnt (@OSU_EMFP) November 28, 2016

Here are a few of the tweets from pro-gun control advocates.

The best tweet is from Hillary’s safe space VP pick Tim Kaine:

Deeply saddened by the senseless act of gun violence at Ohio State this morning. Praying for the injured and the entire Buckeye community

These shootings WILL NOT STOP until we crack down on the insane regulations and wild NRA in this nation. We NEED stricter #guncontrol

Even after it was made clear by the OSU official statement, CBS continued to run with the “active shooter” narrative anyhow:

Without doing any investigation of their own, here’s what the lazy leftist mainstream media reported:
