Former Democratic Vice Presidential candidate Tim Kaine found himself backpedaling about the attack that happened at Ohio State University Monday morning.

Updated reports say attacker used a vehicle & knife. Horrifying & senseless. Relieved the scene is secure & praying for victims’ recovery https://t.co/CzKRjM3qlO — Senator Tim Kaine (@timkaine) November 28, 2016

Kaine was not the only person with an outdated tweet about “gun violence” by lunch time. News outlets initially reported the incident as an “active shooter” situation, but the suspect did not shoot anyone. He was, however, fatally shot by a campus police officer.

Deeply saddened by the senseless act of gun violence at Ohio State this morning. Praying for the injured and the entire Buckeye community — Senator Tim Kaine (@timkaine) November 28, 2016

The attack, allegedly perpetrated by Abdul Razaq Ali Artan, entailed the suspect plowing a car into a group of people on campus and then exiting the vehicle with a butcher knife and attempting to stab individuals outside.

When news first broke of the situation many who are for more gun control on social media called for stricter legislation. However, as the story unfolded some responded that that they were only reacting to the news that was available at the time.

It sure would be presidential for Trump to use Twitter to condemn gun violence right about now. Which is likely why it isn’t happening. — Anne T. Donahue (@annetdonahue) November 28, 2016

This is where were are. Instead of common sense gun control, we get “run, hide, fight.” https://t.co/b5tpDDauWc — Julie DiCaro (@JulieDiCaro) November 28, 2016
