Gun Scare Halts Don Toliver Concert Mid-Set
12 Aug
Summary
- Concert halted Tuesday night after a man attempted to smuggle a gun.
- An announcer initially told fans the show was not over.
- The rapper's next scheduled show will proceed as planned.
A concert by Don Toliver in Houston, Texas, was unexpectedly concluded Tuesday night following the discovery of a handgun. The incident occurred towards the end of the rapper's performance at the Toyota Center. An announcer initially informed the audience that the show was not over, but shortly thereafter, attendees were instructed to exit the venue as lights were turned on.
According to police, a 30-year-old man was apprehended by security after he passed through a metal detector with a concealed handgun. Law enforcement officers took the man into custody and transported him to the Harris County Jail. The show reportedly ended approximately ten minutes early, with Don Toliver having performed the majority of his set.
The decision to end the concert prematurely was reportedly made out of an abundance of caution for the safety of Don Toliver, fans, and staff. His subsequent concert, scheduled for Thursday, is expected to proceed without disruption.
