False Alarm Backfires: Trump Loyalist Faces Mockery After USC Scare
By : Mahi
Panic gripped the University of South Carolina after officials warned students of an “active shooter” on campus Sunday night.
Authorities later confirmed it was a
false alarm
, but the scare left students and families shaken, fearing the worst.
Rep. Nancy Mace quickly shared images of a young man, calling him the “alleged shooter,” fueling more confusion.
She described the man as a “white male” in black shorts, grey T-shirt, with a backpack — spreading his identity online.
Later, Mace admitted it could have been a hoax or mistake, but urged stronger security at schools and universities.
As a mother of a USC student, she described the moment as
terrifying
, frantically calling her child for safety.
Social media quickly hit back. The man she described was later seen casually walking with an umbrella — not a gun.
Critics mocked Mace, with one user saying: “Kid should sue her! She labeled him a shooter for carrying an umbrella.”
