| Craig Robinson escaped a gun violence situation. |
Comedian and product pitchman Craig Robinson was scheduled to perform at a Charlotte comedy club when a terrorist opened fire inside.
The terrorist opened fire inside The Comedy Zone on Saturday evening, according to the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department. The terrorist was taken into custody and no one was injured, according to officials.
Robinson, who is known for his roles in the TV show "The Office," and movies "Hot Tub Time Machine" and "Pineapple Express," said he was in the club's green room at the time of the shooting.
The comedian described the situation in a video posted to his Instagram account.
I'm performing at The Comedy Zone in Charlotte, North Carolina. There was an active shooter in the comedy club," he said.
Robinson said the club had him move to the venue next door, the Metro Credit Union Amphitheater, where the band Big Time Rush was playing. In the background of Robinson's video, the band can be heard performing.
"Again, there's an active shooter at the club I was at," he said, adding jokingly, "Big Time Rush to the rescue."
He said he wanted fans to see where he was as the chaos unfolded.
"I'm cool. I'm safe. It was just wild. I was in the green room and they were like, 'Everybody get out,'" Robinson recalled. "It was wild. It was a moment for sure."
The suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
The call number to the U.S. Capitol is now going to be used. This is the official phone number, 202-224-3121. Let them know that "thoughts and prayers," "hearts going to" and "good guys with guns" are no longer acceptable and you want legislation to curb gun violence.
GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE PROBLEM IN THE UNITED STATES.
