A fight and “popping” sounds incited a panic Thursday night at Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom, leading to since-dispelled rumors of an active shooter at the theme park.
Calls about an apparent shooter began before 10 p.m. as the park was beginning to close.
According to the incident report released Friday by the Orange County Sheriff’s Office, calls were coming from different locations close to the park entrance, particularly City Hall, the bus stop, the Town Square and the monorail. However, none of the callers said they actually saw a weapon and no gunshot wounds were reported.
