Apparently a protester tried to rush the stage and someone shouted "shooter."
From The Daily Mail:
'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.
[...] The man has since been arrested and US Park Police has opened an investigation.
As reboots are all Hollywood is capable of producing these days, the rally featured Emma Gonzalez -- who now goes by "X" Gonzalez and identifies as "they/them" -- screaming for Congress to "pass some f**king gun laws."

Parkland celebrity David Hogg was also at the event.
Right now next to the march set up for today in DC. Our friends @GiffordsCourage set up an installation to show the number of gun deaths every year in the United States, and in each of these vases there are several flowers that represent one life. pic.twitter.com/pAw3apRsFh

Hogg made headlines earlier in the week for falsely claiming Sen. Marco Rubio canceled a meeting with him because he was "triggered."
Also, the reporter doing a profile of you knows the meeting is real since she was emailing yesterday with our comms team about it. Don’t lie again — we have receipts.

Hogg was called out by Marco Rubio's chief of staff for lying and eventually backtracked, deleted the tweet, blamed his own "staff" and apologized.

.@marcorubio an honest mistake, got our meetings confused in the flurry and my staff misinformed me. I apologize. We’d still love to meet with you and have an honest, respectful discussion. Deleted the tweet bc it wasn’t true but attaching here for transparency. pic.twitter.com/icmaLoSA0C
