Craig Robinson may have starred in “Killing It,” but he was doing anything but that during his comedy show.
Reason being he couldn’t kill it onstage was because of a gunman opening gunfire in the comedy club.
Craig Robinson Wasn’t ‘Killing It’ At His Comedy Show… Here’s Why!
Wouldn’t you know, another senseless gunfire spree in an unsuspecting place.
On Saturday night, gunshot flew throughout the Comedy Zone in North Carolina.
Moments before Robinson was set to take the stage, a gunman opened fire and created absolute chaos.
Gunman Opened Fire At Comedy Zone Before Craig Took The Stage
Robinson’s fans fled to safety and according to law enforcement nobody was injured.
The gunman reportedly flashed his gun upon entering the comedy venue and fired at least one round.
The comedian also fled to safety at the Metro Credit Union Amphitheater to watch Big Time Rush perform.
He took to social media to update fans on the situation.
“I’m performing at the Comedy Zone in Charlotte, North Carolina. There was an active shooter in the comedy club,” the actor explained. “So they moved us over, there’s a concert going on and it’s Big Time Rush, so I thought I would share it with y’all. But yeah, hello everybody.”

He took a beat to listen to the show before continuing his update.
“Again, there is an active shooter at the club I was at. So, we had to run over to this concert. I’ll show you what it is,” he said.
Robinson proceeded to show the concert performance and hype of Big Time Rush.
Fans of the “Hot Tub Time Machine” actor were quick to send support and well wishes.
“Take care of yourself bro!” a fan replied.
This person commented, “That is scary as hell. Glad you are safe. You should have just stayed in Detroit.”
“So glad you are safe!! What a great guy you are to do a Live from this concert!! You have a new FOREVER FAN ,” another ‘forever fan’ wrote.
This comedy fan replied to Robinson’s post, “Man. Im so sorry this happened, and glad everyone is safe. I’ve been a standup comedy fan my whole life, and you were gonna be the first pro I saw live. Glad you’re safe. Hope to see you soon!”
Sadly, his comedy show wasn’t the only place in America where absolute panic broke out.
Las Vegas was hit a very scary situation on the same evening.
Mass Panic Takes Over Las Vegas Strip
Tourists visiting the Vegas Strip were sent running for their lives after hearing a loud bang which they took for gunfire.
You may recall a gunman, Stephen Paddock, unloaded rounds and rounds of gunfire on concertgoers at the Route 91 Harvest Music Festival in Las Vegas in 2017.
He was positioned up in the 32nd-floor of the Mandalay Bay hotel, which overlooked the festival.
Paddock fired more than 1,000 bullets killing 60 people and wounding a upwards of 400 people.
Luckily, for the tourists in Vegas this time around, it was just a glass door shattering and not gunfire.
Regardless, it sent the Las Vegas Strip into complete lockdown.
One visitor at the Aria resort filmed themselves along with hundreds of others fleeing the scene of the noise, running upstairs and escalators while screaming out in panic.
The video is disturbing, so please watch with caution.
