Yesterday the cousin of NBA star Dwyane Wade was shot and killed while she was pushing a baby stroller down a street in Chicago.

Donald Trump, who has been trying to attract minority voters, responded this way:

Dwayne Wade's cousin was just shot and killed walking her baby in Chicago. Just what I have been saying. African-Americans will VOTE TRUMP! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 27, 2016

Update: The tweet was subsequently deleted, but only to make a spelling correction:

Trump deleted this tweet — then brought it back with correct spelling of "Dwyane." That was the issue. https://t.co/bC1FoF4Yeo — Benjy Sarlin (@BenjySarlin) August 27, 2016

Let’s just say there were many who thought it was inappropriate to say the least:

For those who enjoy starting Saturday with tasteless, horrific self-involved tweets from the GOP nominee here… https://t.co/TAkvbOllq4 — Jimmy #TexasFirst (@jneutron1969) August 27, 2016

1) You’re celebrating/politicizing this death instead of mourning it or offering condolences. 2) His name is Dwyane. https://t.co/fFTDCDGjiL — bsteels (@bsteels) August 27, 2016

You know how Republicans accuse Democrats of politicizing tragedy? Stop saying now, Republicans. #Sick #Tacky https://t.co/fSpoh68sij — Erick Erickson (@EWErickson) August 27, 2016

There's nothing more horrifying than a presidential candidate patting himself on the back after someone is killed. https://t.co/TrrmEl0zpw — Josh Jordan (@NumbersMuncher) August 27, 2016

Vile comment devoid of empathy. Reminiscent of when he congratulated himself after the Orlando massacre. https://t.co/Xg6tzNZE8F — Sarah Kendzior (@sarahkendzior) August 27, 2016

At least he came closer than Jeb Bush to spelling Wade's name correctly https://t.co/FUi3kp8hJ5 — Bobby Big Wheel (@BobbyBigWheel) August 27, 2016

.@realDonaldTrump I'm sure you are all Dwayne Wade's family can even think about right now!! — Lauren Duca (@laurenduca) August 27, 2016

I often wonder if Trump has a clue what he's trying to convey. https://t.co/teJtEneEU1 — Desert Rat (@dave_taft) August 27, 2016

Not from The Onion. Real tweet. https://t.co/Ii3kyx7sEy — Bruce Bartlett (@BruceBartlett) August 27, 2016

Guess we know what the weekend news cycle will be about https://t.co/x5m3J8SOyB — Eliot Higgins (@EliotHiggins) August 27, 2016

It's spelled "DWYANE" not that it matters. https://t.co/jQzehAKcUn — Jonathan Weisman (@jonathanweisman) August 27, 2016

Update: Trump’s third try worked a little better:

My condolences to Dwyane Wade and his family, on the loss of Nykea Aldridge. They are in my thoughts and prayers. — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 27, 2016
