I realise it's not always easy to know if someone is dead or alive, especially if they're running around killing people, and they're Muslim too.
But it's a bit odd to be getting news reports of fatal shootage yesterday, and then being told the shooter is alive and well today - especially when the perp was 'shot multiple times' in an army camp, surrounded by professionals with weapons.
As for inaccurate reported, well, that's a real shock, isn't it?
It was, by all accounts, the army reporting that was incorrect.

Ten of the victims were soldiers and one was a civilian police officer. Two other injured soldiers were in a "very serious" condition in hospital. Gun fire later erupted around the base as two alleged accomplices, also US soldiers, were captured and police said there may have been more than one gunman. One of them had barricaded himself in a traumatic brain injury unit where he was surrounded by SWAT teams. Four police officers were wounded before he was arrested.
