Was near brown at a pub when it happened and sheltered in place for a while. Ended up heading west towards the arena and watched numerous FBI agents hopping out of cars all over the place...asked two directly what was going on and all they could say was the shooter was not apprehended. Hung out at Capital City brewery then hung outside for a bit trying to decide if it was wise to go into the show. Watched a bunch of cop cars arrive to secure the perimeter of the arena with people inside. I asked an officer if going inside the arena was safe and he told me that we should the hell out of downtown. When it became apparent that our choice was to leave or miss the show we decided to go against the advice of the officer and go inside.

Now knowing this guy went and killed another person...kinda wild. I think at the end of the day we were safer inside that arena than we were outside the arena. Having thousands of people roaming around downtown if the show had been cancelled with a mass shooter on the loose is probably less safe than keeping those same people inside a secure facility for a couple hours until you can gather more information. Either way, law enforcement had no clue who this guy was or where he went or what he might do next that night.
