What happened at Wiz Khalifa concert shooting?
Around 10:30 p.m. on Friday, Wiz Khalifa’s concert at Noblesville’s Ruoff Music Center unexpectedly stopped as attendees started to leave.
Although several of them shouted that there may have been a shooting, a Noblesville Police spokeswoman informed IndyStar late on Friday that he had no knowledge of what had taken place.
From the audience area close to the front and left side of the stage, no gunfire were heard or observed. The majority of guests left through the main door, while some had to climb over closed gates or wire fences. As soon as the music stopped, Khalifa and his band left the stage.
Some audience members were making cell phone calls in the Ruoff’s staff parking lot. Others sobbed and hugged one another. Some people ran away and hid in the nearby fields.
There were police cars and an ambulance in the back parking lots. Logic and fellow rapper Khalifa were co-headlining the Vinyl Verse tour, and Khalifa was around 45 minutes into his performance. The night’s final set was his. Earlier in the evening, Fedd the God and 24kGoldn gave performances.
Mass shooting at Wiz Khalifa concert
At a Wiz Khalifa and Logic event in suburban Indianapolis on Friday, a mass shooting spread terror across the crowd, prompting concertgoers to evacuate the area by scaling fences and clambering over seats.
The incident happened at the Ruoff Music Center in Noblesville, Indiana, about 10:30 p.m. local time. The rappers’ ongoing joint-headlining Vinyl Verse Summer tour, which concludes on September 2 in St. Louis, featured performances by Khalifa and Logic.
Indianapolis star on Wiz Khalifa concert shooting
There was no response from a Noblesville Police spokeswoman regarding the incident, and it is still unclear whether or not the reports of shooting during the event were made up.
On the other hand, a video shared on Twitter reveals spectators who were sitting in the lawn part of the outdoor venue exiting the action — some running, others looking perplexed at the mayhem — as Khalifa performs onstage before abruptly stopping.
The person capturing the scene observes that no metal detectors were used before the performance. Off-screen, the companion of the man replies, “I didn’t hear a gun go off.” Rory Appleton, an attendee and reporter for the Indianapolis Star, also claimed on Twitter that he did not hear any gunshots.

The apparent bogus gunfire report that sparked the widespread panic is the third such occurrence to occur at a music festival this summer.
Three persons were hurt when hundreds of concertgoers fled the Lovers and Friends music festival in Las Vegas in May as a result of bogus claims of a “security crisis.”
An 18-year-old security guard at Lollapalooza in Chicago created a mass shooting alert in August in an effort to get out of work early. Janya B. Williams, the woman who was detained, is accused of creating a false terrorism claim, which is a felony.
Witnesses about Wiz Khalifa concert shooting
Numerous concert goers and witnesses have shared their experiences of the potential gunshot on social media.
People were yelling about gunshots, tweeted IndyStar reporter Rory Appleton. We fled together. To escape, they scaled fences and did anything.
“I’ve left. I didn’t witness or hear any gunfire. I was in the front row stage left, and the right grass appeared to be where the running was coming from. There were several little children present. We all hurried out of the staff entrance, calling home as they went out into the cornfields,” continued Appleton.
Another user tweeted, “I left before people started rushing and as I was at the gate there was a mob of people running.”
Another person remarked, “I was there and was frightened for my life buddy.”

Another witness said on Twitter that the mayhem was caused by a brawl that started instead of a shooting.
“A shooter was not present at the Wiz event. When a fight broke out, the police arrived behind us.
Then, when everyone saw them pursuing the brawl’s offender, the entire area was evacuated, the witness tweeted.
There was a 19-year-old who described it as “the saddest thing ever.”
“When a brawl broke out and a shooting took place, it destroyed the night for everyone. We were all just trying to have fun. man, so sad,” the teen tweeted.
