MOI: Rumors of death at City Center false

No one has been killed at City Center mall, the Ministry of Interior has told Doha News in response to inquiries about online rumors of a shooting there.

A graphic image (included at the end of this post) of a man lying on the floor surrounded by a crowd of people in what appears to be a Khaleeji mall has been circulating on Blackberry Messenger and Twitter since yesterday, prompting questions about what happened and whether City Center has been closed.

As awful as it is(not to mention the sickos who spread such falsehood) just glad it was a rumor and nothing more!

What a horrible rumor, but thankfully a rumor only. I was at City Center last night and it seemed all normal, though very crowded.
