claiming to be of the three recent gunman has been making the rounds.
It's easy to debunk the composite based on the following images of Santino Legan (Garlic Festival), Patrick Crusius (El Paso) and Connor Betts (Dayton).
They have similar characteristics but these are not the same young men in the composite. No one so far knows who created the composite. But many people have taken the image as truth without questioning the source or its credibility.
When images like that go viral it's easy to get swept up in the hype and fall for it.
Stay critical and do your own research.
