The shooting reportedly went down before Cube ever took the stage, and according to CBS8 … it was an officer-involved shooting. Citing witnesses, the outlet reports that a man who was waiting to get inside for the concert pulled out a gun and fired 3 rounds into the air. He was subdued by nearby officers with a taser at first … but was then reportedly shot when that didn’t stop him. CBS8 says witnesses believed the man to be dead.

We’ve got calls in to local authorities to confirm the news. 

The situation has been contained. The concert is moving forward as planned.
