The Office star Craig Robinson evacuates comedy show after active shooter enters venue

Craig Robinson's comedy show in North Carolina came to a halt after an active shooter entered the venue Saturday.

The Office alum was evacuated from the Comedy Zone in Charlotte shortly after 9 p.m. local time, after a male subject entered the establishment and brandished a firearm, according to the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department. The club was quickly evacuated before the gun was fired, police said, adding that there were no injuries and the suspect was in custody.

Robinson shared the experience on Instagram from a Big Time Rush concert at the nearby Metro Credit Union Amphitheater, where he was told to stay while police handled the situation.

"I'm safe," the comedian said among concert attendees as the pop band performed on stage. "I'm cool. It was wild. I was in the green room and they're like 'everybody get out.' It was a moment for sure." Robinson ended the video, an Instagram Live, after he was informed that the suspect was detained.

Robinson is best known for his role as warehouse foreman Darryl on The Office. His other TV credits include Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Killing It, Big Mouth, American Dad!, and The Cleveland Show. He has also starred in numerous films, including Hot Tub Time Machine, Knocked Up, Dolemite Is My Name, Pineapple Express, and, most recently, provided voiceover work for The Bad Guys, which was No. 1 at the box office for two weeks.
