While there is security for the Deer District, which had a capacity limit set, people reportedly ran over gates to get in once capacity was reached. Presumably, none of those people went through metal detectors.

As the fourth quarter of the game wound down, people began to swarm the exits that had opened. A number of fights were broken up before the reported shooting would have happened as the game ended.

The VIP section of the Deer District was being "guarded" by the Bucks' Grand Dancers – one member telling FOX6 that people were trying to cut through the security gate.
