The Daily Beast Falls For Twitter Hoax, Falsely Identifies Quebec City Mosque Shooters

The Daily Beast falsely reported Sunday night that a pair of white supremacists had been identified as the perpetrators of the mass shooting at a Quebec City mosque.

The rumor that white supremacists David M.J. Aurine and Mathieu Fournier were identified as the shooters appears to have been begun by a hoax Reuters account.

While many fell for the hoax on social media, the only outlet that reported on it was the Daily Beast.
