“I could tell he was hit, and I was in shock,” said Dave Johnson. “Everyone that was on the floor was rushing to the guy’s aide. Immediately calling for medics and emergency personnel.”

He said first responders in the stands rushed to help the man and then the rest of the crowd was told to leave.

“It was chaotic there because everyone was rushed to get out of the building,” Johnson told WBNS.

Amber Cook was also at the show with her three kids. She said it shocked everyone.

“It all kind of like was a movie,” she said to WBNS. “Everything went completely silent, and it seemed very unreal.”

Johnson hoped the incident was not as bad as it seemed.

“I sat there and said a prayer you know,” he said. “It’s almost like when you watch stuff you think this guy will get up and wave his hand like ‘I’m okay’ and that didn’t happen.”

The incident remains under investigation.
