The chaos generated by the announcement was felt throughout the United Center as soon as the police arrived.
Armed with semi-automatic rifles, the police informed the spectators that the concert had to be canceled.
The American rapper was therefore unable to complete his show.
During the evacuation, people started running in all directions, a fight broke out at the top of the stands, and robberies occurred near the concessions.
Clothes bearing the image of Lil Durk were even stolen, a situation denounced by the main interested party the next day on his Instagram account.
The active shooter threat was lifted shortly following the Chicago Police Department intervened.
The organization that owns the amphitheater apologized for the turn of events.
“We are working with the authorities to shed light on all the incidents that have occurred [samedi] evening. It became clear that the show had to be canceled for the safety and well-being of the spectators and our employees, ”we tell the media “TMZ”.
Recall that Lil Durk was one of the headliners of the Festival d’été de Québec (FEQ), last July.
The latter had been forced to cancel his performance due to health problems.
