On Wednesday the Fresno police department in California refused reports that one of the two persons attacked in a shooting incident was Canada-based gangster Goldy Brar.
Lieutenant William J Dooley said in an emailed statement in response to a query, ‘If you are enquiring because of the online chatter claiming that the shooting victim is ‘Goldy Brar’, we can confirm that this is absolutely not true’.
‘We have received enquiries from around the world this morning due to misinformation being spread on social media and online news agencies. We are not sure who started this rumour, but it caught on and spread like wildfire. But again, it isn’t true. The victim is definitely not Goldy.”
Absolutely not true. If you are enquiring because of the online chatter claiming that the shooting victim is Goldy Brar, we can confirm that this is absolutely not true. -Lieutenant William J Dooley
The police haven’t yet recognised the two persons who were attacked, one of whom died at a hospital later.
The other person was released from the hospital after treatment. They two were attacked at Fairmont and Holt Avenue in the northwestern part of Fresno after a fight on Tuesday evening, according to the police.
The younger of the two, said to be in his 30s, was shot in the upper body. He was taken to the hospital in critical condition where he died later. The other man was hit in the lower part of the body and was released from the hospital after treatment.
But reports of the shooting spread like wildfire in Bharat, claiming the deceased was gangster Goldy Brar.
