CNN anchor lands in hot waters for calling NYC Midtown Manhattan shooter ‘possibly white’

A lone gunman named Shane Devon Tamura shot four people at 345 Park Avenue in Midtown Manhattan, but the reporting of his suspect description inadvertently turned the other tragic details of the NYC shooting into secondary information.

According to multiple reports, Tamura was recorded by a surveillance camera arriving and parking a black BMW between 51st and 52nd Street before exiting his vehicle with an M4 rifle. He was in dark pants and a jacket, with a light blue shirt and sunglasses. The still from the footage certainly suggests he’s a person of color. But CNN reporter Erin Burnett saw otherwise.
