Huge panic! The audience heard the gunfire and caused confusion. The elite tennis player stuttered

The climax of the boxing gala evening, which brought the title battle between Gervonta Davis and Roland Romero, eventually overshadowed another incident that took place immediately after the match. The crowded arena panicked after gunfire was heard. While one group of fans scared out of the arena, the other half of the fans wanted to hide in the bowels of the hall for a change. This caused a great deal of confusion.

The clash of several hundred fans brought a huge crowd, everyone wanted to get to a safe place, but the pushers offered a number of injuries, including bloody ones. A total of 18 people were injured, nine of whom were taken to local hospitals. Moreover, the whole incident did not go unnoticed by emotionally outraged people.

Four-time Grand Slam tennis winner Naomi Osaka, who also took part in the incident, was also terrified. “I was just at the Barclays Center and suddenly I heard screams and saw people running. Then they shouted at us that there was a shooter so we could hide in a room and close the door. I was completely petrified, “the Japanese tennis player describes on Twitter.

“I was lucky at the time to have security with me. I can’t imagine being there alone, let alone with a child,” Osaka added.

But as it turned out, it was a false alarm. The sound of a gunshot was made by a mass brawl in the bowels of the New York arena. The audience’s panic was unnecessary, yet many had the head of the recent horrific mass shooting that took place at a primary school in Texas. An 18-year-old man shot more than twenty people at the time.
