Robson was in attendance at the open-air gig and the 23-year-old, who won silver at the London 2012 Olympics alongside Andy Murray in the mixed doubles, tweeted about her experience.

"I'm okay. We were right there... sounded like fireworks at first then everyone started running. Scary ****," she wrote.

"My friend who was deeper in the crowd has been helping people who were shot. We're all in shock."

Authorities confirmed the suspected shooter had been shot and killed by officers.
