evidence: An Italian sports journalist and blogger has described how he became the target of fake news after he was accused of being the suspect behind Donald Trump’s attempted assassination. Marco Violi told Il Messaggero that he woke up to hundreds of messages in the early hours of Sunday after two accounts on X posted a photo of him alongside a message saying that Butler police department had identified Trump’s shooter as "Mark Violets, a rabid Antifa member". Mark Violets is a direct English translation of his name. The accounts had millions of followers, with the message circulating for several hours and republished on a number of international websites before the real suspect was identified. [...] In Bethel Park, where the man who is suspected of opening fire at a Donald Trump campaign rally on Saturday lived with his mother and sister, the houses are small and built of brick, Walmart and Target form central social hubs, and moms watch over their children at a junior league baseball park next to a tributary of the Allegheny river.
