Reports of people running on the grounds sparked fears of a shooting at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo on Saturday. The event is held at the NRG Stadium, in Houston, Texas.
The rodeo began on March 2 and ends on March 22. The Houston Police Department is yet to comment on the matter. There are no reports of injuries yet.
People describe scenes of panic at Houston rodeo. One person claiming to be at the scene described the panic that unfurled.
"This just happen. I was standing in line next to the fun house at the Houston Rodeo. My youngest son was inside the fun house, and my other son was waiting in a different line nearby. Out of nowhere I see a massive crowd running straight toward us — people screaming, pushing, running like someone had just started shooting or tried to blow the place up.
"I ran all the way to the top of the fun house, grabbed my youngest, picked him up, and started hauling ass back down through the chaos trying to get to my other son. My heart dropped into my stomach. I have never felt fear like that in my life.
"If you’re in large crowds, stay alert and stay safe. This happened tonight at the Houston Rodeo," the post further detailed.
