CHESAPEAKE
Police say that a rumor circulating about gang violence at Greenbrier Mall is just that – a rumor.
E-mails saying that people would be shot at the mall as part of a gang initiation began circulating earlier this month. One said that two black females would be targeted; a second claimed that a mother and child would be targeted.
Detectives who monitor gang activity so far have said there is no reliable information to support the threats, Chesapeake Police spokeswoman Christi Golden said in an e-mail.
These types of rumors, with changes in locations and targets, have circulated for several years, she said. Police and security at Greenbrier Mall were notified as a precaution.

Gangs
Apparently gang memebers have nothing better to do than to spread rumors. If gang members want real respect, quit the gang and get a real job. It seems that the gang members just want attention by posting these rumors. I have no respect for those in gangs.
