TAMPA (FOX 13) -
Concerns about someone with a possible gun led authorities to
evacuate The Ritz Theater in Ybor
City Monday night.
Seventh Avenue was shut
down as hundreds of people streamed out of the venue.
According to the Tampa Police Department, a customer overheard two people
talking about a plan to start shooting during the concert.
Management
called police, and the theater was evacuated.
From around
6 p.m. to 7:40 p.m., nearly 1,000 people waited along 7th Avenue while police
searched the building.
No guns or
weapons were found. Officers patted everyone down before they were allowed back
in, and the event resumed.
