So I was recently wondering if the US would start having a bunch of active shooter/mass shooting incidents now that Trump has been elected.

I was just about to pose this question here, on Twitter and one other forum I visit, when I was reading Yahoo and saw that there was an alleged active shooter even at a major hospital in Houston, TX. Right away, I had a hunch that it wasn't a real shooting, but that didn't stop the story from media hysteria and briefly blowing up on Twitter. On my feed, I saw that people were re-tweeting that a bald white man was allegedly the shooter.

So I followed up on the incident and it turns out that there was no evidence of a shooting; no shells, no victim and no shooter. There was also no one named as a source for the claim of the shooting to begin with.

Ben Taub gets 'all clear' after SWAT search finds no evidence of shooting

QuoteAfter searching Ben Taub Hospital twice and interviewing witnesses about a reported shooting, the Houston Police Department gave an "all clear" Tuesday afternoon and returned control of the hospital back to medical staff.

Although an early report indicated a shooter had been cornered on a floor of the hospital, Houston Police Chief Art Acevedo said that no evidence was found of an active shooter or shooting.

"It wasn't a mistake, there was a specific reason (we responded)," Acevedo said. "We had multiple witnesses that heard a man yell, 'Drop the gun, drop the gun.' Multiple people heard two large bangs, whether or not those were gunshots is subject to further investigation."

But Acevedo, who arrived on the scene shortly after SWAT officers arrived, said there was no evidence of a shooting, such as bullet casings, broken windows or bullet holes. Police did not find any victims during their first and second checks.

"All patients and employees are safe at this point," Acevedo said.

Reports started coming in about 2 p.m. of shots fired, Houston police spokesman Kese Smith said.

Medical providers hid inside their offices at Ben Taub Hospital as Houston police responded to reports of shots fired inside the building. Others barricaded themselves in available areas of the hospital.

Patients in the Emergency Room told the Chronicle that hospital staff originally said the flurry of action was part of a drill but then began disconnecting patients from their IVs. Images showed nurses and others bringing patients outside on hospital beds and gurneys.

The Graph is not titled, but I assume it is the number of mass casualty shootings under the last 4 presidents. Obama clearly went full retard, and statistics are proving him to being a lying faggot.

Yes it is the number of mass shooting events under each president.
