Packed concert with 4,000 fans inside locked down as police rush to reports of bomb threat

A reported bomb threat caused police to lock down a packed Karol G concert in Charlotte, North Carolina on Tuesday evening.

Around four thousand fans were expected to pile in to the Spectrum Center hoping to see the Latin icon perform some of her hit songs, but police brought the show to a halt after a CMPD bomb dog detected something in a bin outside, according to sources.

WSOC-TV reported that the nearby Transit Center was also evacuated and area's CityLYNX Gold transport link was shut down amid the discovery. Areas outside the Transit Center and Spectrum Center were cordoned off by officers.
