"The verified Twitter account for Fox News Politics has been hacked and been used to claim that President Barack Obama has been assassinated. After three days of inactivity, a post claimed that the news organisation had &amp;quot;just regained full access to our Twitter and email&amp;quot;. It then continued: &amp;quot;Barack Obama has just passed. The President is dead. A sad 4th of July, indeed. President Barack Obama is dead.  &amp;quot;Nearly 45 minutes ago, he was shot twice in the lower pelvic area and in the neck; shooter unknown. Bled out. &amp;quot;Barack Obama shot twice at a Ross&amp;#039; restaurant in Iowa while campaigning. RIP Obama, best regards to the Obama family.&amp;quot; The hoaxer added: &amp;quot;#ObamaDead, it&amp;#039;s a sad 4th of July. RT to support the late president&amp;#039;s family, and RIP. The shooter will be found. &amp;quot;BREAKING NEWS: President Barack Obama assassinated, 2 gunshot wounds have proved too much. It&amp;#039;s a sad 4th for #america. #obamadead RIP &amp;quot;We wish Joe Biden the best of luck as our new President of the United States. In such a time of madness, there&amp;#039;s light at the end of tunnel.&amp;quot; Fox News has since confirmed on its website that the Twitter account was hacked this morning. &amp;quot;Hackers sent out several malicious and false tweets claiming that President Obama had been assassinated,&amp;quot; it confirmed &amp;quot;Those reports are incorrect, of course, and the president is spending the July 4 holiday with his family. &amp;quot;The hacking is being investigated, and FoxNews.com regrets any distress the false tweets may have created.&amp;quot; However, at the time of writing, the posts still remain on the Twitter account.
