# Claim table: Vancouver Burger Smash gun-threat Reel

| Claim | Evidence label | Source-check note |
|---|---|---|
| Two men confronted staff at Burger Smash in Vancouver. | Social-video claim / visually plausible | The caption and overlay say this; the video/contact sheet shows a restaurant confrontation. NewsForBC did not independently confirm the restaurant identity, date or police file in this pass. |
| The dispute reportedly involved a missing cheeseburger. | Caption claim | This appears in the Instagram caption; no independent official record was found in this pass. |
| The men can be heard saying “we got guns.” | Supported by captured audio, with transcript caution | The auto transcript captured repeated gun-threat wording. The audio is noisy; use the video/audio as the primary preserved source. |
| A firearm was visible. | Not shown in the preserved frames | The Instagram caption itself says the video does not show a firearm; frame review did not clearly identify a gun. |
| Either man was actually armed. | Not confirmed | No firearm, police release, arrest record, or charge record was verified in this pass. |
| The conduct could be relevant to uttering-threats / firearm-law public-safety categories. | Legal context only, not a charge finding | Criminal Code s. 264.1 covers knowingly conveying threats to cause death or bodily harm; ss. 87 and 88 address pointing firearms and possessing weapons for dangerous purposes. Whether any offence occurred is for police/Crown/courts. |
| Staff or witnesses should report video/evidence to police. | Supported public-safety guidance | VPD directs emergencies/crimes in progress to 911 and non-emergency reporting to 604-717-3321. |
