Baltimore police took to Twitter on Monday to dispute a a Fox News reporter who said he saw a police officer shoot a black man who was running away.
Fox News reporter Mike Tobin reported on-air minutes earlier that he had seen a black man being shot by a police officer.
Below is the tweet from Baltimore police:
The reports of a man being shot at North and Pennsylvania Ave are NOT true. Officers have arrested a man for a handgun at the location

Update: Fox News later issued a retraction saying that nobody was shot and that the reporter had made an honest mistake.
