Twitter Erupts In Gun Control Debate And Targets Wrong Person In Wake Of School Shooting

With news of the horrendous elementary school shooting in Connecticut that has left 27 dead (at least 18 of them children), Twitter has erupted in a gun control debate.

People are sad and angry and looking for a scapegoat. And unfortunately for someone bearing the alleged killer’s Twitter handle, they found one.

UPDATE: This post has been updated to remove the name of the alleged killer as his brother was mistakenly identified initially and the actual killer’s name doesn’t deserve to be published.
