Halloween revelers tell of their terror as seven people are shot at nightclub near Los Angeles hosting a party called 'The First Purge'

Seven revelers were shot at a nightclub near Los Angeles as it hosted a Halloween party called 'The First Purge.'

Desperate club-goers stampeded towards the exit of Sevilla Nightclub in Riverside, California, when shots were heard, witnesses said.

Fights broke out in the street as people ran for their lives, witnesses told KTLA.

One man said people were dancing in the club when he heard gunshots go off.

'I turned around and people (were) shooting,' he told the station.

'I ran behind the bar and all of a sudden there was a whole bunch of people crunched up by the exit.'

He added: 'I was just praying, like, God get me through this.'

NYC is having the same purge theme this year starting with the parade and following up with most NYC nightclubs with purge. Please be safe out there everyone. I don't know how any city could allow such a theme. Smh
