No shooting at Los Angeles Southwest College: Football team coach clarifies amid reports on social media
Reports of a shooting at Los Angeles Southwest College appeared unfounded as the team's football coach dispelled rumors via a post on X.
Social media reports of a shooting at Los Angeles Southwest College on August 21 have been debunked. The college's football team coach, Steven Lewis, clarified on X, stating, "There was not a shooting at Los Angeles Southwest College tonight. Fake news. Tonight's game between Kingdrew and San Pedro High School." This clarification came amid several claims of a possible shooting at the college.
One social media user reported an evacuation, while another mentioned gunshots and a security response from the sheriffs. Some even claimed to have witnessed the incident on the Citizen app. However, none of these reports could be independently verified. A local alerts page with a large following also reported shots fired during a football game at Southwest College.
It is unclear if a screenshot of one of these posts, which has since been deleted, is accurate. The incident has been widely discussed on social media, with numerous posts claiming a shooting at the college during a game between Kingdrew and San Pedro High School.
