Stampede at Barclays Center after active shooter rumors

A stampede broke out at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center after rumors circulated that an active gunman was in the arena.

At least 10 people were injured just after midnight Sunday…when people started shouting that someone was firing shots. It wasn’t true, but the public didn’t know.

It’s unclear how the rumor started, but it spread like wildfire. A guard said it was rumored that someone was firing outside the arena. That caused people leaving the boxing match to do a crazy flight in, and it became a madhouse.

Naomi Osaka was among those in attendance… she tweeted, that she “heard screams and saw people running” and was then told “there was an active gunman and we had to crawl into a room and close the doors”, adding that she ” petrified” .”

Madonna was also there for the championship match between Gervonta Davis and Roland Romero† It is not clear if she was present during the melee.

One person who was there tweeted, “I saw someone almost get trampled.”

The ten known injured have been taken to a hospital and only suffered minor injuries, officials said.
