A U2 concert in Sweden was canceled after a “security risk” was reported. According to Aftonbladet, people outside were not allowed in and those inside were asked to leave with some reporting that security began searching the Globe Arena in Stockholm. Expressen later reported that police got news that a gunman was inside the Globe, planning to shoot an audience member. The Telegraph reported that the gunman entered the arena, claiming to be an off duty police officer. “As the breach has not been resolved quickly and as audience safety is paramount, the police have advised The Globen and Live Nation that they have no option but to postpone tonight’s show,” the band wrote on its website. “Tonight’s show in Stockholm rescheduled until Tuesday,” U2 wrote on Twitter. The rescheduled show marks the third of four gigs scheduled in the city. Copyright(c) 2015 RTTNews.com. All Rights ReservedLess «
