Moments ago Fox News reported that authorities might have shot another man of color in Baltimore:
Baltimore police shot a man Monday in the same area where massive riots broke out last week over the death of Freddie Gray.It's unclear what prompted the shooting. A Fox News crew witnessed a young black male running from police before he was shot.
Fox News reporter Mike Tobin was on-the-scene, and he told anchor Shepard Smith that he saw a man get shot.
“I saw a weapon on the ground,” he said. “I only counted one gun shot.”
Stay tuned for updates.
UPDATE: A local Baltimore police officer told Fox News no one was shot.
UPDATE: And apparently he was telling the truth.
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

BREAKING: Fox News anchor apologizes for error regarding report of black man being shot in #Baltimore.

Despite her testimony, the fact of the matter is no one was shot. So she's either lying -- or was confused by what she saw. Hmmm.
