The Twitterati on Saturday night reported that a "white supremacist" went on a mass shooting targeting "peaceful protesters" at Jefferson Square Park in Louisville, Kentucky.
This was the top result when searching "Jefferson Square Park" Sunday on Twitter:

Actor Daniel Newman told his nearly 1 million followers that it appeared that "a White Male just committed a Mass Shooting targeting Peaceful Black Americans."
Though Twitter will fact-check the president's opinions, this disinformation apparently didn't merit any similar such fact-check.
On the ground reports came out just hours after the shooting claiming the gunman was a homeless man named Steven Lopez who was apparently kicked out of the park.
"Several witnesses identified Lopez, who had frequented the park, as the shooter," The Courier Journal reported on Sunday. "And video surveillance showed him shooting a handgun into the crowd, the citation says."
"Several bystanders returned fire, shooting Lopez in the leg, according to the citation."
The Courier Journal reported that Lopez was a regular at the protests:
Lopez has been a frequent sight at the protests, which have rocked the streets of Louisville for a month.
Several Courier Journal reporters have seen him among the crowd in recent days, and a speaker at a Kentucky Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression press conference Sunday morning said he'd been among the crowd for the past 12 days at least.
Steven Lopez is arrested on June 17 after an attempt by protesters to block Liberty Street. Lopez was charged with murder on Sunday, June 28, in connection with a fatal shooting Saturday night.
Court records show he was one of 17 protesters arrested on June 17, and a Courier Journal photographer captured his arrest that day in a photo. He was charged that morning with inciting a riot, disorderly conduct, harassment and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Rather than the story being one of a white male shooting peaceful black American protesters, the story was one of an Hispanic male shooting a peaceful white American protester.
Well, ol Joey Biden did say he would have the police retrained to shoot in the leg not the heart... who knew how fast he would get this course online?
Disorderly conduct, you say!
Story will now die. The lie has been spread.
They’re done now.
But he was a ‘white’ Hispanic, like George Zimmerman. </sarc>
He was a druggie homeless man, and that's the kind of people attracted to this mayhem.
Screw those other “peaceful protesters” because they're creating this environment, that's including the busy body UK white guy who was shot and killed. His family put out a vomit inducing statement.
Talking about hate can't win.
Of course he is. Self identified as Don Diego de la Vega, pure blanco Castilian landed gentry from Spain.
OTOH, on dark nights he dons a completely black outfit complete with cape and mask (BLM approved) and becomes the near invicible SJW known in the barrio/hood as Zorro. Although conflicted between the two personas, he’s a good fella....really.

on a side note, can you guess the political party of both the state Gov AND the mayor of Louisville? It explains a LOT.
I have read another article that said the shooter had been living in the park before the protesters move in.
If he was a bit mentally challenged he probably just decided he would join the crowd and when they repeatedly rejected him and threw him out of what he considered his home he decided to retaliate.
Is there such a thing as a Hispanic Supremacist?
All leftists lie. Never believe anything a leftist writes or says.

It is called La Raza. (The Race)
Remember folks if you ever decide to protect yourself and family you will be labeled a white supremacist racist. What if we all agreed to the branding would they then call us something else?

Will Actor Daniel Newman apologize?

This THUG murdered a white kid he had been hassling for taking pictures.
The white kid was just a nimrod wanna-be journolist. Posting pics to his Instagram.
THUG had been ejected from the kampf by the kampfers for the third time. THUG runs to get a gun he stashed, literally takes aim , targets, and murders the kid in cold blood. A couple of the kampfers return fire and shoot THUG in the leg as Ali Biden hath commanded.
