Viral Pauline Brown Bloomfield Hills Shooting Video Debunked
This disturbing viral video from a TikTok account with the name – The Real Dax News has
been spreading around the internet lately. The video shows the alleged suspect – Pauline
Brown who had shot a 19-year-old teenage boy on the knees and also killed a policeman
while another got injured.
79-year-old Pauline Brown is said to be handicapped. She had driven into a Target parking
lot on a Tuesday morning with the aim of parking into the designated area for handicaps
before another car pulled up on her spot. Pauline Brown exercised patience while waiting for
the victim – Chad Bosnik who was accompanied by his 8-year-old brother to come out of the
store. Pauline asked Chad if he was handicapped which he answered negatively.
Pauline Brown lost it, took out her pistol, and fired at Chad Bosnik on the knees. Another
narrative from onlookers claimed that the Police Officers who came to the scene were
exchanging gunshots which had allegedly killed one of the policemen and another got
injured.

Fact Check: Fake News!!
The video source – The Real Dax News is said to be fond of spreading false news. Also, the
video is an AI-generated image not a real video as the video claims.
The viral video is a
fabricated post as there is no form of shooting in Bloomfield Hills, nor any aged woman with
the name Pauline Brown.
Here are a few reactions from concerned netizens;
Urbnlit reacted “ Despite the sensational nature of this story, it is important to note that the
source, “The Real Dax News,” is a TikTok page known for creating AI-generated content.
Another story from this account, involving a man named Douglass Barnes, also went viral
but was also fabricated.”
Stephen Kiser reacted “Granny had the intention of not playing with white folks. Hurts my
soul that my race has collectively participated or turned a blind eye to as much as we have to
where people of color wouldn’t think twice to unalive us. It’s such a long and hard road to fix
what’s wrong”
Cigar Y Politico commented “So you all praising a woman who killed an officer (although
satire) because she was mad over a parking space? Mental illness and no respect for the
officers. This is satire but more and more fake stories continue to circulate.”
Stay Positive reacted “I think the lesson here is for us 2Learn 2 Discern QUICKLY. Besides,
“Dax News’ claim to fame is that they create stories that resonate with the real-life
experiences of people, hence why their stories are usually compelling and go insanely viral”.
Understandably, many accounts are looking for traffic on their pages, but there should be a
limit to the extent people go just for views. Make sure to always check for real facts before
spreading out more misinformation that may cause mayhem to society.
