Last night, shortly after the mass shooting in a Lafayette, Louisiana movie theater, Megyn Kelly talked to a Lafayette police spokesman who made it clear that almost nothing could be confirmed about the incident yet. But instead of trying to confirm, as earlier reports had indicated, whether the shooter was white, Kelly "asked” if the incident might have been an ISIS attack.

As Media Matters noted, Kelly had previously noted a similarity between this incident and the shooting in a Colorado movie theater in 2012 (which had nothing to do with ISIS). Also, authorities had already described the shooter as a white man - as the KTLA news report, below, time stamped at 6:44 PM PT (9:44 PM ET) shows.

Kelly talked to Lafayette police officer Kyle Suarez at about 9:54 PM ET, as the top video shows. The officer was unable to confirm during the call whether the gunman entered the theater while the movie was in progress, what kind of weapon was used, whether the gunman had shot himself, the age range of the victims and whether any sort of threat had been called in.

Kelly might have asked if Suarez could confirm earlier reports that the gunman was white, which had also been previously reported on her show. Instead, she asked about ISIS.

KELLY: Any reason to believe there might be a connection to ISIS or radical Islam or terror, as we understand it in this country?

Of course, Suarez said it was “too early to draw any type of conclusion.”

Kelly ended the interview after that.

I’m surprised she didn’t ask if the shooter was an immigrant.
