Deception
(50%)
The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the title of the article implies that three people were shot and one was killed when in fact only two people were injured and none died. Secondly, the sentence 'Police officers say three people were shot' is misleading as it suggests all three individuals who were involved in the shooting are suspects but this is not clear from further reading of the article. Thirdly, there is no mention of any evidence linking anyone to these shootings and therefore it cannot be confirmed if they have been arrested or identified.

The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the title of the article implies that three people were shot and one killed when in fact only two people were reported to have been shot with no mention of anyone being killed. Secondly, there are multiple instances where information is presented as if it was true but later contradicted or corrected by other sources such as JBPD's Facebook post stating that everyone should shelter in place at the time and then lifting the order shortly after. Thirdly, there is a lack of transparency regarding who provided this information to Action News Jax which could be seen as an attempt to manipulate public opinion.
