Una presentación del musical “Hamilton” en el SHN Orpheum Theatre en San Francisco se salió de control y terminó en caos cuando una emergencia médica fue malinterpretada como un tiroteo dentro de la sala.
Según informó el medio The Independent, antes del caos alguien activó la alarma de fuego y otra persona gritó “arma”.
Específicamente, parece haber sido una mujer quien tuvo un ataque de corazón. Según el Departamento de Bomberos de San Francisco, en el caos por huir de la supuesta situación tres personas más resultaron heridas. Una de ellas terminó con una pierna rota, mientras que las demás lesiones eran de carácter “moderado”.
La persona que sufrió el ataque antes de la falsa alarma permanecía el viernes en estado crítico, añadió The Hollywood Reporter.
Después de la emergencia, se indicó que el elenco de “Hamilton” regresó al escenario y la obra se completó.

I was at Hamilton tonight in San Francisco and just after Hamilton was shot people started screaming and yelling get down and running for the doors. It took a minute for the house lights to come up. Total chaos. Hunkering down in our seats.

Our #Hamilton show ended in a mass panic. Members of the audience started screaming and running, shouts of “gun” could be heard. The entire theater cleared out. Theater staff tells us it was actually one person who suffered a medical emergency. Someone misconstrued the situation pic.twitter.com/5RoeJhwdOm

Police outside responded quickly. Thankfully there was no gun, no shooter. It was however a scary few minutes. Many many people here are visibly shaken. Crowds were running for the exits and ducking for cover @FOX40 pic.twitter.com/3MSrxNOOmG

SFPD here on scene tell us someone had a heart attack, and someone else in the audience thought that person may have been shot. Everything seems calm now, again just a lot of people shaken up @FOX40 pic.twitter.com/kPsjyz0bgG
