The Vine inspired a number of parodies and the "shovel girl" meme has been traveling around Twitter all week.

Spongebob was the original shovel girl

Twitter users photoshopped fake headlines, claiming that the girl actually died. And apparently, teenagers, not curious as to why a headline would only include a girl's first name, decided to start the #RIPShovelGirl hashtag.

Fugate confirmed she was alive though, in a new Vine.

Fugate updated her Twitter profile, writing, "Yes, I'm the one who got hit with a shovel."

Another girl, Emily Powers, is currently taking credit on Twitter for throwing the shovel.

A representative for Miami County Sheriff's office told TMZ Wednesday that they're currently investigating whether or not the girl who threw the shovel could be charged with assault or disorderly conduct.
