A TikToker guffawed when she saw a news anchor flubbing a headline about back-to-school shopping during a live broadcast.

Emmi–a.k.a. TikToker @handlwcare–went back and filmed a portion of the newscast in which the reporter said, “back-to-school shooting,” instead of “back-to-school shopping.”

The text overlay in the TikTok video read:

"There's no way that just happened."

But the evidence proving otherwise was right there, playing on an endless loop.

You can see the clip here.

someone has got to check on her because if that were me i’d walk into oncoming tr4ff1c #ReTokforNature #nourisheveryyou #fyp #news #newsanchor #newsfail #livetelevision #america #backtoschool #publicschoolcheck #newsanchorfails

Emmi filmed her TV screen showing WCVB Boston news anchor Maria Stephanos looking bewildered at the camera immediately after saying, “back-to-school shoot—school shopping."

The clip was seen over 9 million times.

In the caption, Emmi expressed how mortified she would be if she was in Stephanos' situation.

The TikToker wrote:

"Someone has got to check on her because if that were me i’d walk into oncoming tr4ff1c."

Viewers were also gobsmacked over the innocent gaffe.

The unfortunate snafu may have had something to do with anchors like Stephanos frequently having to report on incidents relating to gun violence in America.

So it's hardly surprising TikTokers touched on the normalization of shootings in the country coinciding with parents having anxiety over sending their kids back to school for the fall semester.

Sarah Jessica Parker Claps Back At Conservative Critics Who Want Her To 'Shut Up' About Politics And 'Act'

Nothing seems to get conservatives' goats quite like celebrities having political opinions—well, liberal and leftist celebrities, anyway.

They seem to love it when weird right-wing celebs like Kevin Sorbo get on the internet and say bizarre, usually counterfactual nonsense, or when JK Rowling does her darnedest to make her legacy not about Harry Potter but about her weird obsession with trans people.

Ann Coulter Faces Fierce Backlash After Saying 'We Didn't Kill Enough Indians' In Deleted Post

Far-right provocateur Ann Coulter is facing fierce criticism after she made a genocidal remark in a now-deleted post on X in response to University of Minnesota professor and Navajo Nation member Melanie Yazzie's speech about colonization.

Yazzie, in a speech at last year's annual Socialism Conference, said "decolonization is the only thing that is going to save us as a species" during a panel hosted by Red Nation, a Native American nonprofit that advocates for Palestinian and Native American rights. She also said that the United States is the "greatest predator empire that has ever existed" and said it should be dismantled.
