|Updated:

CNN and NBC both falsely reported, citing anonymous sources, that the suspected California shooter was dead on Nov. 14, an assertation that law enforcement officials directly refuted. The case illustrated anew the danger in relying on sources that don’t go on the record, a persistent problem for both media outlets.

According to a story on CNN’s website, the shooter is dead.
