The audio falsely claiming to have been broadcast from a crime scanner app falsely reported as an armed person in crisis near a school in West Fargo, North Dakota, was discovered through social media, not their own dispatch. The audio was convincing but contained errors that indicated it was not true. West Fargo Police Captain Randy Burkhartsmeier said the public should trust verified sources before sharing the audio. He warned that advances in AI could make fake audio increasingly difficult to detect.
