Was anywhere in the center of where the masses started running?
I was at the concert in the back by the beer tent. I stepped away to use the restroom. As I was finishing the business, a crowd of women men children were in the restroom screaming and whatnot.
I washed my hands and absorbed "there's a shooting outside"
I went to meet my party outside who admist waiting, stated a crowd of humans.. huge crowds.. panic crowds.. poured out.
We assumed from what we were told. We returned to the concert and watched the police do a truly thorough job and remain present to ensure safety. Over half the crowd was gone. We watched troves of officers and dogs due their due diligence and escort everyone out of the grounds (a bit excessive but I appreciate the abundance of caution despite the inconvenience).
My question is
DID ANYONE ACTUALLY HEAR GUNSHOTS??
I didn't. Party didn't. News says it didn't happen. I SAW the hysteria. Where did it start if no shots?
I've been present for shootings. You KNOW if shots were fired which is why I took it at face value. Someone had to KNOW. But now I'm seeing it was just mass hysteria and lies?
Any insight?

Realistically, this is a pretty stark reminder of what our society has become to this point, so I can’t fault people for panicking at a very real possibility that an active shooting could have occurred.
sI was exiting the swine / goat building on northeast end of the expo center is. First thing I saw was a cop cart speeding towards the Latino village. Next I saw people running from in front of the expo center overhead ppl saying they’re shooting. My sister and I grabbed my son and hauled ass. I decided to keep running towards gate 4 versus staying in the horse stables. I wanted us out as fast as possible. Once we got over state fair bridge Rick Ross was still performing and some people said they heard booms (I heard nothing as my brain was thinking of my kid.) I still don’t know what happened but it was a scary situation that no one wants to find themselves in. One thing is – even if it is a false alarm – not fucking around and finding out . Especially when it comes to my kid.
There was no shooting the state troopers said. I was also there too and I didn’t hear any gun shots.
Didn’t hear or see anything. Just eveyone running and jumping over eachother. It was definitely scary in the moment.
Took cover behind a building and waited to see what’s going on
I was on the midway and didn’t hear any gunshots.
I saw people rushing out and other people seeing that and following those people out.
Scared folks reacting to bullshit. I don’t blame them, but don’t give anyone the idea that the state fair is unsafe.
Was in the back of the crowd kind of middle rightish. Didn’t hear anything other than the music. People just started running. Based on what I saw and heard from some people who are inside sources, it seems to be a false alarm.
My best guess is either someone thought it would be funny to just turn and run as if something was going on to cause a ruckus, or someone may have flashed a gun but didn’t use it causing a panic. Either way, no shots fired. If there’s a report of someone at the hospital with a gunshot wound from the fair I’ll change my mind. Until then, someone is just a a-hole.
Before anyone else starts with their bullshit,;
There was a shooting in the parking lot 1989 at the Waylon Jennings concert
I was on the edge of the midway, I didn’t hear anything either. Just saw the stampede of people running towards Tully’s. When I got off of break my boss said that 4 of my coworkers ran off and 2 hid in the back of the stand.
Was in the food hall with my girlfriend – It was a kind of weird experience.
We’re ordering some food before everything closes up, and suddenly a huge rush of people come through, I mean full on sprinting from one end of the building to the other. I thought, near the end, I heard some pops, my girlfriend also thinks she heard some pops, in the direction of the dairy building with that big butter sculpture (ish).
Both of us hop behind the counter and hide behind the registers, the two workers still there looked frozen dead solid, before we decide to book it out of there and head for the entrance. Did we actually see gunshots? No. But are we going to stick around and test the theory? Hell no. That pop could have been anything, maybe doors slamming open, maybe lightbulbs braking, but we sure as hell weren’t interested in figuring it out.
