“The Office” star Craig Robinson cancelled his North Carolina comedy show Saturday after a gunman started firing inside of the club.
The gunman started firing around the club at around 9 p.m. on Saturday in North Carolina’s Comedy Zone comedy club, according to TMZ. He reportedly flashed his gun as he walked into the comedy club, demanded that everyone leave, and fired one round, the outlet reported.
The gunman was taken into custody, and no one was hurt as Robinson and his fan fled the venue, the outlet continued. “I’m safe. I’m cool. It was wild I was in the green room and they’re like ‘everybody get out!’ It was a moment for sure,” Robinson said of the ordeal, according to TMZ.
