A video showing police personnel gunning down an individual is going viral on social media platforms with users identifying the latter as one ‘Mohammad Altamish’.
What have users said?: An X (formerly Twitter) premium user shared the clip with a caption that said, “A radical Islamist Mohammad Altamish in America was threatening with a knife. American police said to throw the knife and surrender. Mohammad Altamish did not agree. Then police did what a police officer should do with terrorists.”
The viral post had gained nearly 10 thousand views on the platform. More archives of similar claims can be found here, here, and here.
What are the facts?: The viral claim is false. The video is actually from 8 November 2022, when a man named Jesus Crosby was shot by the Albuquerque Police Department (APD) in the United States.
