The South Carolina Republican Nancy Mace is facing criticism for posting an online image of a man she falsely described as a campus shooter after the state university issued a “credible report” alert of a shooter in the library on Sunday.
Officials at the University of South Carolina had issued a warning of an active shooter at the university’s Columbia campus at about 6.30pm, later describing the suspect as “a white male with black pants, approximately 6 feet tall and still in the area”.
