A Democratic congressman was tricked into spreading false information about the church shooting in Sutherland Springs, Texas during an appearance on CNN on Sunday.
"It was reported to me that he is actually not from this community. Apparently, his name was released as Sam Hyde," Rep. Vicente Gonzalez said. "That was a name I was given."
"I assume probably there will be search warrants executed probably later in the day," he added. "I assume will be trying to get to the bottom of this person's life and what could have motivated him to commit such a tragedy."
Police say the actual name of the suspect is Devin Kelley. "Sam Hyde" is a name spread by trolls on the 4chan website in the wake of every mass shooting.
The real Sam Hyde is a YouTube comedian and founder of the comedic troupe Million Dollar Extreme. Hyde became the source of controversy after he was given an Adult Swim sketch show despite his alleged support of alt-right causes.
Gonzalez's snafu comes two years after CNN fell for the same prank, displaying an image of the real Hyde during their coverage of the Umpqua Community College shooting in October 2015.
