Video shows gunfire in Venezuela.

A day after the United States announced that Venezuelan migrants who walk or swim across the U.S.-Mexico border would be immediately returned to Mexico, a video started to circulate on social media that claimed to show gunfire at a soccer game in the South American country. 

“Tf is going on in Venezuela,” read the caption on one post sharing the video taken from the stands of a soccer game that shows shooting.  

The post was flagged as part of Facebook’s efforts to combat false news and misinformation on its News Feed. (Read more about our partnership with Meta, which owns Facebook and Instagram.)

El Imparcial, a Mexican newspaper, reported in September that the shooting happened in a Brazilian favela in Rio de Janeiro.

O Dia, a newspaper in Rio, also said in September that police were looking into the video in connection with a drug trafficking investigation.  

Millions of Venezuelans have fled their country amid violence, socio-economic insecurity, food shortages and a lack of medical care. They recently surpassed Guatemalans and Hondurans as the second-largest nationality stopped at the U.S. border after Mexicans, according to the Associated Press. 

But this video doesn’t show shooting in Venezuela. 

We rate that claim False.
