According to ABC News, reports of shots being fired inside the venue sparked panic, leading to a deadly stampede that injured nine people in total.
Rochester Police responded at 11:05 p.m. based on initial reports of gunshots inside the venue, which has a capacity of 5,000. Officers found multiple people injured.
However, an investigation later revealed that none of the injuries were consistent with gunshot wounds and police have cast doubt on whether a shooting actually took place.
“At this time, there is no evidence to support a shooting having occurred inside the event,” Lt. Nicholas Adams said. “The injuries appear to be as a result of a large crowd pushing towards the exits following accounts of individuals hearing what they believed to be gunshots.”
