Vince Neil, the lead vocalist of Mötley Crüe, shared a harrowing experience from a concert in Oklahoma City, where a shooting incident occurred during the performance. Neil recounted the incident on social media, describing it as a “crazy night.”
According to Neil, during the concert, about three-quarters of the way through their set, chaos erupted as people started running. The band was informed to seek shelter in their dressing room. Neil expressed his gratitude to the fans for their understanding during this unsettling situation.
The police provided details about the shooting at the Oklahoma State Fair, indicating that a person was shot in the chest following a fight at the Bennett Event Center on the fairgrounds. A juvenile was taken into custody in connection with the shooting. The police emphasized that the incident was isolated and not indicative of an active shooter situation.
Witnesses at the fair reported scenes of panic as people fled the area after the gunshots, with some describing a stampede and children in distress. The incident serves as a reminder of the unpredictable nature of such events and the importance of public safety measures.
