Moment of shock at a performance by comedian and actor Craig Robinson in Charlotte, North Carolina. On Saturday evening, a man in the club suddenly opened fire with a gun. The “The Office” star confirmed this on his Instagram account. “There was a shooting at the club I was at,” Robinson said in a video to his fans immediately after the evacuation. It was the well-known Comedy Zone live stage in Charlotte.
A police spokesman later told the Washington Post that officers arrived at 9:15 p.m. Several guests had previously reported that a man had threatened them with a gun and fired it. Nobody was injured. The police immediately took the man into custody. The identity of the perpetrator was not disclosed, but the man was known to the police and had previously been convicted of a crime.
Robinson shared via Instagram that he was fine: “I’m cool. I’m sure. It was just wild.” He was suddenly asked to leave the venue immediately, his statement said. A few hours later, in a new post, Robinson thanked security forces, police and Comedy Zone staff for getting everyone safely to safety. “Thank God no one was hurt,” said Robinson.
