There was shooting outside the concert venue, and concert-goers say they actually didn’t hear any shots

The shooting took place outside the Old Branch Building. A concert-goer, Latasha Robinson, was in the building but said she didn’t hear any gunshots, likely because of the loud music.

“I didn’t hear any shots. I actually had some people that I helped in the VIP area, so we were all on stage, so we didn’t hear anything,” she said.

Robinson noted the sad irony in the fact that everyone inside was having the times of their lives, while people were dying and suffering just outside the concert venue.

“Just knowing that something like this happened out there while such a good time was going on… there were no fights, there was no drunken chaos, there was nothing,” she told KAIT-TV.

As soon as the shooting started, security forces pushed everyone back to get back inside.

Meanwhile, Robinson described the scene of the fatal shooting she witnessed outside after shots were fired.

“When I got out of here the police had taped both sides and they were looking for gun shells and my heart just sank. Just to know something like this happened outside,” she said.

Filming of a concert comes just weeks after Fredo Bang announced he is the father of a baby boy

Bang made dad’s duties a reality last month after announcing he is a new dad to a little boy named Payton.

While heartwarming, the Instagram post didn’t include any pictures of Payton’s mother. The photos featured Payton’s older brother Parker, and fans soon discovered he has two mothers — a married YouTube couple annie And Sevyn Buffin.

Word of their new bundle of joy spread like wildfire, and Fredo – officially named Frederick Givens II – and the Buffins stepped in The shadow room to address some of the rumors and misconceptions that are circulating about her family.
