At least 12 people were hurt after reports of gunfire sent people running for cover during a Lil Wayne’s concert in Atlanta on Sunday, authorities say.
Video shows people running away from the area after someone yelled ‘gunshot’ in the crowd. Some people were left injured but officers said there’s no evidence of shots fired.
Lil Wayne was about five songs into his set at the annual A3C Festival when people tried to leave, police say.
A3C posted to Twitter with a statement, “We are still collecting information to determine exactly what happened.” They added, “Please be assured that the law enforcement officers present have confirmed that there were no weapons involved.”

There have been approximately twelve minor injuries reported to police such as ankle injuries and lacerations from attempting to jump fences,” the department said in a statement. “The event location is being cleared out by police at this time.”
The concerted ended early due to panic. Wayne took to twitter with the caption “Hope everyone at A3C is safe!!”
