Photos of two unrelated people were falsely identified as images of the Nashville shooter. Another photo of a protester in Oklahoma holding a sign with guns on it was misrepresented as the Nashville shooter. A Nashville television station did not tweet that the father of one of the victims made an anti-trans statement.
