Several outlets likely saw that tweet and ran with it, citing the original "exclusive" from Radar Online, a gossip site. This causes an avalanche of aggregated reports, all from that one "exclusive"

Google "Jamie Foxx’s Family Reportedly Preparing ‘For The Worst’," you'll see Image

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Texas police commander says officers could have stopped the gunman in Uvalde school shooting within three minutes.
Texas Department of Public Safety director Steve McCraw says the Uvalde “on-scene commander chose to put the lives of officers before the lives of children.”

“The officers had weapons, the children had none.”
McCraw: I’m disappointed in the social media industry for not being more proactive … I have great confidence in their resources to be able to identify potential threats and bring them to the attention of law enforcement

New: Dave Chappelle announced that he will not have his name on the Duke Ellington School of Arts

Instead, the theater will be called The Theater for Artistic Freedom & Expression. He made the decision on Friday
Chappelle, who is an alum of the school, said hearing the backlash from students about his special The Closer “sincerely hurt me.”

“If you have more talent than me, display it. That is what our genre is about …”
“No matter what they say about The Closer, it is still [one of the] most watched specials on Netflix,” Chappelle said, calling it a “masterpiece.”

“I am maybe a once in a lifetime talent.”
