Country music star and coach on NBC's "The Voice", Blake Shelton, just shocked Twitter by claiming he intentionally ran over a turtle.

Update: Shelton indicated the tweet was a joke and that he wasn't in Oklahoma yesterday. Barbara King (@bjkingape) weighed in at NPR regarding why these tweets matter anyway. Shelton's fans continue to threaten turtles in defense of the initial tweet. I echo King in hoping that these fans aren't serious.
