Gang Initiation at Wal-Mart Tonight, (3/19) [True or Not, Better to be Careful.]

I don't know if the message is completely true or not, but I figured it's better to be safe that sorry. I received the message in a text message so I'm staying away. This is what the message said:

Quote:
Do NOT go to any Wal-Mart tonight. Gang initiation to shoot 3 women tonight. Thought to be Wal-Marts on the Central Coast. Confirmed on local television news.

If you look it up on google, most of the news sites say it's false but you never know.


I hope this isn't against the rules to post, I looked in the FAQs but I didn't see anything against it.

My friend sent me a text that said that, but I had to go to wal-mart anyway and there was no problem and no one had said anything. I think it's one of those hoaxes because no news site that I read/watch said anything about that.

I thought it was just my area. Everyone was talking about it at work today. I thought it was silly.

I got it last night and thought it was just my area until this morning also. It's in the local paper(online) here.

Geez, this is the third time today I've heard about this.

Joshrzmeup, thanks for posting the Snopes link. More people need to visit that site. There's way too much well-intentioned, but totally false information on the 'Net and now in text messages. Check your facts people.

Life's can be scary enough as it is without these pranks. Too bad there's no way to trace the source.

This one was so dumb that people should be able to figure it out without snopes.

I heard about this hoax then 5 minutes later got the txt message from a friend.

I wish there was a way to block those type of text messages. I don't mind getting this stuff in my e-mail but texting costs money! Plus my friend should know I NEVER shop at wal-mart.
