‘Shovel Girl’ fight victim Miranda Fugate
A viral video of two teen girls fighting has taken over the internet and sparked a death hoax. In the video, first uploaded to WorldStarHipHop and Vine, viewers see a girl believed to be Miranda Fugate in grey facing off with another girl in black, believed to be Emily Powers.
The two adolescents from Ohio begin to fight for reasons that remain unknown until Fugate gets the upper hand. Powers then picks up a shovel and chucks at it Fugate hitting her in the back of the head.

A satirical website recently reported that Miranda Fugate died after being struck by the shovel, but the teen has debunked those claims herself via a Vine video.
“Eh bruh, I think I need another shovel,” jokes the teen in the six-second tape.
Fugate’s “shovel girl fight” has spurned reaction posts and racked up millions of views from people who reveled in violent clips like the Sharkeisha fight that showed a teen sneak attacking a classmate, the “Jaide fight” that showed a teen being bullied and defeating her attacker and the Cleveland bus driver uppercut.
