The shooting resulted in at least five people being wounded, and authorities are currently searching for three potential shooters.
In the midst of this tragic event, an unexpected moment of comic relief occurred, with Fox News finding themselves on the receiving end. While covering the shooting, the network was pranked by an individual who identified himself as "Tyrone," claiming to be a student at Morgan State and a witness to the crime.
However, it soon became apparent that "Tyrone" was not who he claimed to be. In fact, he turned out to be a fan of Tucker Carlson, a conservative commentator. Seizing the opportunity, "Tyrone" proceeded to mock Fox News, stating that he and his friends now watch Carlson on a different platform since he is no longer with the network. He also took a swipe at the corporate media, suggesting that Carlson is doing better without them.
