This is CNN.
On Monday evening, CNN reported that the shooter responsible for the tragic mass shooting in Manhattan, which left at least five individuals dead, was ‘possibly white.’ This assertion, however, seems to stray from factual accuracy.
The assailant has been identified as 27-year-old Shane Tamura, hailing from Las Vegas.
In a horrifying incident that unfolded in a Midtown building, Tamura opened fire, resulting in the deaths of five people, including a police officer. Eyewitness accounts describe a chilling scene, as Tamura, clad in a bulletproof vest, entered a 44-story skyscraper located at 51st and Park Avenue and unleashed gunfire before ultimately turning the weapon on himself.
The New York Post reports, “A crazed gunman wearing a bulletproof vest opened fire inside a swanky Midtown skyscraper that houses Blackstone and NFL headquarters Monday, injuring three people, including a cop — before turning the gun on himself, sources said.”
Despite the clear details surrounding the shooter, CNN chose to perpetuate the ‘white man’ narrative, even as evidence suggested otherwise.

In a rather curious turn of events, CNN’s Erin Burnett referred to Shane Tamura as ‘possibly white,’ despite law enforcement having released a clear image of the suspect.
“You talk about a 44-story building…there were a few things that stood out there, among them, they do know what he looks like, sunglasses, mustache, possibly white,” Burnett stated.
WATCH:
CNN is running with the White guy narrative.
Absolutely SHAMEFUL.
Of course, the former FBI Deputy Director is joining them to talk about how bad this supposed White suspect is. pic.twitter.com/T2tNr3so6p
