    Republican Rep. Tim Burchett posted on X falsely identifying an Olathe man as a shooter at the rally.

    The post said the shooter was identified as an “illegal alien.” Loudermill was neither .

    The judge granted Burchett’s motion to dismiss the lawsuit because it was filed in the wrong jurisdiction.

    He did say it can be refiled if it is in a proper jurisdiction.
