UPDATE 2:58AM: Eyewitness report from Ahmed: "There were several lines [outside of the venue]. I was standing on the left side with the badge-holders. There were people without badges waiting on the other side, some in the street. Security moved them onto the sidewalk, some people were possibly hanging off onto the street." He said he then saw a car knocking people on this line and that it looked like, "popping popcorn." He said a cop car immediately followed, although slowly, and he believes that it was already in pursuit of the assailing vehicle before the incident.
