The audience at a screening of Joker in Long Beach, California fled the cinema after false reports of a shooting.

Police were dispatched to the Regal Edwards cinema on Saturday 5 October after they received calls that there were shots coming from the theatre, according to the Long Beach Post.

The Long Beach Police Department posted a statement on their official Facebook page that said: “‪Officers were on scene within a minute of dispatch and discovered patrons had self-evacuated due to a suspicious male adult who was wearing a backpack and looking out at the crowd near an emergency exit inside the theatre.”
