It’s a sign of the times.
A false report of an active shooter following a professional boxing match at Barclays Center caused what was described as a “stampede” as fans already on the arena entrance plaza ran back into the building at around 1:00 a.m. Sunday. Reports ranged from 10 to 18 hurt, all of them reportedly minor. The incident, of course, comes after two shootings in the past week by 18-year-olds in Buffalo and Uvalde, Texas, that killed 31 including 17 fourth-graders in the Texas town.
As CNN reported Sunday...
No shots were fired at the Barclays Center during a disturbance that sent people, including tennis star Naomi Osaka, running for their lives early Sunday, said the New York City Police Department.
