Video: Fans rush to take cover as active shooter situation reportedly arises outside Gervonta Davis vs. Rolando Romero

Fans who came to witness the boxing match between Gervonta Davis and Rolando Romero went into panic mode after they reportedly heard gunshots being fired outside the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. Fans were leaving the arena when they found out about an active shooter situation which caused them to rush back inside.

In a scary video captured inside the arena, people can be seen running helter-skelters inside the Barclays Center in a bid to take cover.

Watch the clip below:

Four-time Grand Slam singles champion Naomi Osaka was also present at the Barclays Center to witness the Showtime pay-per-view boxing event. The tennis star took to Twitter to share the horrifying experience she had at the time. Osaka said she was inside the venue when she heard people screaming about an active shooter situation.

That's when Osaka apparently "huddled" in a room with others and shut the doors. She later made it out safely, but acknowledged that she was "f*cking petrified" after the ordeal in a tweet.

"I was just in the Barclays center and suddenly I heard shouting and saw people running, then we were being yelled at that there was an active shooter and we had to huddle in a room and close the doors, I was so f***ing petrified man."

As of now, it is being reported that multiple people have been injured due to a stampede-like situation arising from the panic caused by the active shooter situation.
