Unconfirmed claim that suspect arrested for attack on citizen in Aktash

HIBRID

Wrote: Etrit Rexhepi

Yesterday (September 3rd), an article was published reporting on gunfire in the "Aktash" neighborhood of Pristina.

The news was published by the medium "sinjali.com", which claims that "The police have already arrested the suspect."

But what is the truth?

Hibrid.info has found that the suspect, who attacked a person yesterday, is still at large.

The medium in question makes the claim when it says that "As Sinjali learns, the police have already arrested the suspect.".

However, the Kosovo Police report states that the suspect is still at large, which means that the media outlet's claim is not accurate.


That the suspect is on the run is also written in articles from other Albanian-language media, which were found by hibrid.info (see here, here and here).


Analyze:

The claim that the suspect in the shooting in the "Aktash" neighborhood in Pristina is incorrect.

Hibrid.info has found that according to the Kosovo Police report, the suspect is still at large.

Based on its working methodology, hibrid.info assesses this content as "unverified".

Reasoning:

The "Unverified" rating is given to those informative contents that do not provide sufficient information to confirm the claims made in the report, and which could not be verified due to certain circumstances (speed, lack of sources) during the publication of the content.
