This twitter account has spread a lot of falsities before, get your updates elsewhere:
Looks like accounts that are trying to spread the Sam Hyde hoax like they do every shooting might be getting hit by Twitter 
This is fake. The photo was posted at least 10 days ago to a YouTuber's Reddit Channel: archive.fo/kkFn8
This name and image is being spread in a systematic way. It's fake.
People on 4Chan are of course already floating bogus false flag theories about qAnon.
Seeing some accounts that have been systematically spreading false names of the suspect get suspended
Journalists, be careful. Seeing accounts that always spread hoaxes trying to get some fame.
Note this from @JSOPIO
Some junk news sites are picking up the story. They usually distort the facts, are not careful with the numbers, and will forget to update if the story doesn't get enough traffic. Try not to share them.
Paul Denino, also known as Ice Poseidon, is getting targeted. This is a fake account. His real one is twitter.com/realiceposeidon. Picture above in the trench coat is him too. He also recently made an appearance in the New Yorker: newyorker.com/magazine/2018/…
(Laura Loomer spread above fake and then later apologized)
Trolls are slowing down or are using the same names and pics from above. DM me if you see something.
A few people are asking me about the name David Katz. Police confirmed in a press conference that's the suspect's name. More here: buzzfeednews.com/article/buzzfe…
What we know about the suspect for far: buzzfeednews.com/article/remysm…
This report has tens of thousands of shares across social networks, but it's unreliable.
The headline is based on messages posted by a Reddit account that has not been conclusively connected to the suspect.

This screenshot, which got hundreds of RTs, is fake.
