A man stormed the stage during the 'March for our Lives' protest against gun violence, causing an stampede as thousands of attendees fled in terror when he reportedly threw an object at the audience.
More than 5,000 people attending the event at the National Mall in Washington, DC, cowered on the floor after the unidentified pro-gun protester came onstage during a moment of silence.
'I am the gun I am using! I am not shooting a school,' the man said as security personnel attempted to escort him off the stage, before seemingly throwing a can at rally attendees behind the barricades.
The disturbance only lasted a few moments and officials at the rally rushed to assure those present that the man was not armed, The Sun reported.
