🚨 BREAKING: FACT-CHECK — San Diego Convenience Store “Mass Shooting” Video Goes Viral 🚨

CLAIM: A graphic, 21-second video is circulating on X/TikTok claiming to show a “mass shooting spree” at a 7-Eleven in San Diego on Tuesday night, with captions saying “at least 12 dead, shooter still at large.”

RATING: FAKE / MISLEADING

WHAT’S TRUE: San Diego Police did respond to a single shooting incident Tuesday evening near a convenience store on University Ave. One person sustained non-life-threatening injuries. One suspect is in custody.

WHAT’S FALSE:

• The viral video is OLD — it is actually from a 2022 armed robbery in Memphis, TN, not a mass shooting in San Diego.
• There are NO reports of 12 fatalities. Official police logs and local news confirm zero deaths.
• The “shooter still at large” narrative is false; a suspect was detained within 20 minutes.

BOTTOM LINE: Do not reshare the video. It’s recycled footage being used to fuel panic. Check the source — the original uploader’s account was created 3 days ago and has a history of posting fabricated “breaking news.”

Stay safe, but stay skeptical. ✅
