At least 12 people were killed and more than 50 people were injured at a shooting in a movie theater in Colorado early Friday morning. During ABC News? coverage of the shooting on Friday, Stephanopoulos noted that Ross had discovered that the alleged shooter, Jim Holmes, may be linked to the Tea Party.
?There?s a Jim Holmes of Aurora, Colorado, page on the Colorado Tea Party site as well, talking about him joining the Tea Party last year,? said Ross. ?Now, we don?t know if this is the same Jim Holmes. But it?s Jim Holmes of Aurora, Colorado.?
A personal page on a Colorado Tea Party website shows a user named Jim Holmes highlighted an event with an expert who had discussed ?global Islamic terrorism. ? This link between the shooter and the Tea Party that ABC News was referring to.
UPDATE: ABC News has issued a correction to their earlier report. The alleged shooter was not linked to the Colorado Tea Party:

An earlier ABC News broadcast report suggested that a Jim Holmes of a Colorado Tea Party organization might be the suspect, but that report was incorrect. Several other local residents with similar names were also contacted via social media by members of the public who mistook them for the suspect.

<!-- END GBTV EMBED -->Using the same standards ABC?s Brian Ross uses for reporting ? which is apparently the super quality ?Google & Guess? method ? Glenn Beck Program Chief Investigator Stu uncovers some very serious charges against Brian Ross. Did Brian Ross get charged with murder and ?sexual related? crimes?
Charge one: Chris Davis was brutally killed and murdered he was found facedown in his pool. Brian Ross has been arrested for the killing of Chris Davis:

Five suspects were arrested Thursday as a result of the St. Albans police investigation into the death of Chris Davis, who was found dead in a swimming pool April 16.
None of the suspects are charged with killing Davis, only that they assaulted and robbed him. The developments were hard for Davis? family and friends to watch from the Franklin County courthouse.
Samamnthajo Assisi was Davis? girlfriend. She?s also the mother of their two year-old daughter Lillian Grace?who she says looks just like him.
?I feel so bad for her,? Assisi said as she battled back tears.
?That was his everything. He loved that baby so much.?
Four of the five suspects arrested made their appearance in court today. Police say Travis Bugbee and Brian Ross lured Davis to the St. Albans swimming pool on March 21.
​

IMPORTANT UPDATE: ?An earlier Glenn Beck Program broadcast report did suggest that Brian Holmes of ABC News might be the suspect,? said Chief Investigator Stu Burguiere. ?That report was incorrect. The Glenn Beck program and myself, Stu Burguiere, apologize for that mistake and for disseminating information before it was properly vetted.?
Charge Two: Brian Ross sent explicit photos and text messages to two teenage girls:

Explicit photos and text messages to two girls has landed a 37-year-old Mentone man in jail on suspicion of sex-related charges, according to Fontana police and jail records.
Brian John Ross was arrested at 5:35 p.m. Thursday at Sierra and Merrill avenues in Fontana and booked on suspicion of contacting a minor and arranging to meet with a minor via the Internet for the purpose of having sex, jail records show. His bail is $50,000.
On March 13, a 10-year-old Fontana girl received a text message from a man who would later identify himself as a 38-year-old named ?Brian,? police said in a written statement.

While the guys may have had some fun pointing out the horrible investigative tools and standards employed by ABC News, Glenn did get serious about the dangers of this kind of ?story first, facts later? reporting.
Glenn said, ?I?m talking to the Brian Ross at ABC News. What you should do, Brian, is not worry about being first. Not worry about your political agenda. What you should do is be accurate. That?s something that they used to teach in journalism schools.?
?Everybody makes a mistake. But I believe, I believe we would fire somebody who would do what you just did,? he said.
