Trump Tweets Condolences for Wrong Mass Shooting

President Donald Trump tweeted his condolences to the victims of a shooting earlier this month in Texas, the day a shooter killed four people in California, in an apparent mistake that led to outrage on Twitter.

Trump sent the tweet, which has since been deleted, late Tuesday night after a gunman shot an killed four people and injured 10 in Rancho Tehama Reserve in northern California.

The president said: "May God be with the people of Sutherland Springs, Texas. The FBI and Law Enforcement has arrived."

Trump just tweeted again about the church shooting in Sutherland Springs. The 1st tweet was the day of the event, 9 days ago. Is this his shooting tweet template? He forgot to change the location to today's shooting: California. pic.twitter.com/IToC7UXkyP

The tweet is almost identical to a tweet Trump sent earlier this month, after the mass shooting at the First Baptist Church in Sutherland Springs.

May God be w/ the people of Sutherland Springs, Texas. The FBI & law enforcement are on the scene. I am monitoring the situation from Japan.

Twitter users were quick to attack.

Did u just copy & paste this & forget to change the city?

Pretty sad when there are so many mass shootings that you just use the same generic tweet to respond to them all.

The President of the United States is tweeting at midnight about the wrong mass shooting and it's like the 500th most insane Trump story of the week.
