AN anti-gun protest has descended into chaos after man appeared to storm the stage during a moment of silence marking the Uvalde, Texas school shooting.
The man allegedly threw an object into the crowd at the March for Our Lives rally in Washington, DC and screamed “I am the gun,” as he was detained.
People were seen cowering on the floor or running away.
One speaker, Erica Ford, with the New York City Crisis Management System yelled into the crowd, “do not run,” WUSA reports.
Speakers on the stage later assured the crowd that the man was not armed and they were not in danger.
The incident happened on the National Mall.
The man was identified as a pro-gun demonstrator by Park Police, who also confirmed no weapons were found.
