A wave of panic swept through the Seaside Heights Boardwalk Amusement Park on Memorial Day as reports of possible gunshots or loud bangs led to a chaotic scene. Hundreds of teens and other pedestrians fled in terror after someone reportedly yelled that they had a gun.
The incident, which occurred earlier this evening, saw mass hysteria as people ran in all directions, with some being trampled in the rush to escape. The Ocean County Sheriff’s Office quickly responded, and multiple law enforcement agencies are now on the scene to manage the situation and investigate the reports.
