Dartmouth Police Department clears up story about “shooting at Dartmouth Mall”

“There is some chatter circulating on the Internet that there was a shooting at the Mall.

Though there was a physical altercation between several males inside of Macy’s, no weapons were ever shown, thus any information reporting that there was a shooting is false, and SHOULD NOT be shared or rebroadcasted in any way!

Moving forward, please consider using trusted sources, such as the police department, for any information pertaining to public safety, as the intent of other sources may be either to simply gain attention, or to spread misinformation in an effort to promote fear mongering.

PLEASE SHARE THIS ACCURATE INFORMATION” -Dartmouth Police Department.
