Although there is security for the deer area, where capacity limits have been set, people have reportedly run over the gates to enter once capacity has been reached. It is assumed that none of these people went through metal detectors.
When the fourth quarter of the game ended, people began to crowd into the exits that opened. Several battles were interrupted before the shooting took place when the game was over.
