Last night didn’t end magically for everyone…At the end of the night on Thursday, August 29, 2024, there was an incident at the Magic Kingdom. I’ve seen a lot of misinformation posted, so I thought I’d share. There was no active shooter. Here’s the official statement from the Orange County Sheriff’s Department. It was issued in the late hours of August 29.
ALERT: There is NO active shooter at Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom. A fight occurred, and a “popping” sound was heard that we believe was a balloon. Guests began running and that’s how the active shooter rumor started. There is no active shooter.
