43. No, that's not accurate. Earlier today I did not recognize the last name of the shooter in a post

In a post that only used his last name and made no mention of the shooter, only something about him being bald and being on TV. On my TV there is a program called something like Holmes on homes and the guy on the show is bald, so I thought that is what they might be talking about, but really could not tell.

As for the shooting, I have made it a point to not watch a single thing about it on TV myself, all I know of it I have read here, and almost all if that has been speculation, which is exactly the conversation that I added to with my own speculation. If you don't care for it I guess that's just how it is.
