The Acacia Strain’s Vincent Bennett Responds To Reports Of Dayton, Ohio Mass Shooter Wearing The Band’s Merch

Early this morning (August 4), a 24-year-old gunman staged a mass shooting in Dayton, OH, killing nine people and wounding 27 others. Police were able to kill the man and a photo of what is believed to be his body has surfaced online. The picture allegedly shows the shooter wearing a hoodie with lyrics from The Acacia Strain’s “Ramirez“ on it and some people have tried to use this information to scapegoat the band:

After finding out about this, The Acacia Strain frontman Vincent Bennett responded:

The Dayton, OH shooting follows yesterday’s shooting in El Paso, TX in which a 21-year-old gunman killed 20 people and wounded 26 others. Both shootings also follow last week’s shooting in Gilroy, CA, in which a 19-year-old gunman killed three people and wounded 13 others.
