Online message foreshadowing Trump rally shooting was fake, officials say

Federal law enforcement officials say an account on the gaming platform Steam that posted what looked like a message foreshadowing Saturday's shooting at a Trump rally is fake. Anna Schecter, CBS News' senior coordinating producer for crime and public safety, joins to discuss the latest in the investigation.

People get harassed by police filming in public areas yet this guy has a range finder at a Presidential rally and is left alone.

[JennyRose]

But multiple people told multiple LEO's that there was a guy with a gun. I'm calling BS.

THEY NEED TO STOP...A MAN WAS KILLED, SHOT IN THE HEAD PROTECTING HIS WIFE....SAD!!

[Nola_Soulja]

Yet another example of why mainstream media trust it at an all time low... this is disgusting

Im trying to wait until things are confirmed but so far, things arent adding up. The more details that emerge, the more questions arise

He had entered the rally, with range finder, they were suspicious then, yet, lost sight of him in crowd. They then saw him outside the rally again. So much longer than 20 minutes. He was seen on the roof for 20+ minutes. Get all the facts gathered so you do not mislead the public. K?

Propaganda from the CIA, you can't believe anything these people say😂

[nealwright]

Epic failures all around. So many people need to be fired and never ever work in law enforcement again!

[curtisharms]

Are you kidding me. Along with the man that lost his life.

[Charlie-phlezk]

Howdy! It was allowed to happen. Don't delete this. Thanks.

Stay tuned for more fake messages.
This story is a mystery except for those who
believe in conspiracies.

And yet it’s no wonder why no one watch the news anymore

[godofthunder]

What a joke cbs you should be ashamed pushing this propaganda

[TheHypnotstCollector]

he did two TV commercials for Black Rock. this cbs spin is bs

[jgale]

You people are unbelievable, a father was killed protecting his family. Just such a hard time dealing with reality I guess. You should be ashamed of yourselves.

[cpmow]

Apparently the guy had a car, a bike, AND a van there. He lived 50 miles away. He also allegedly left a rifle there previously that wasn’t found during sweep, AND walked up to the building with a ladder.

[estellegriggs]

Omg how a man lost his life if it’s fake wtf is wrong with humanity

[barryrutenschroer]

Is it common for a 20 year old to have 2 phones? Unless he is running drugs why would he have a burner?

[LeslieMacDonald-ggkg]

A guy on a roof with a rangefinder at a Presidential campaign rally isn't "sufficiently suspicious" to raise an alarm? What?

[jeffharrison]

This has got to be one of the most misleading news headlines ever. I pray that it was written out of unprofessionalism and not intentionally misleading.
