Some protesters pushed through the metal barriers and rushed toward the convention centre entrance. Authorities eventually resorted to violence, shoving one woman to the ground right after she was hit in the face with pepper spray. Reports circulated that a gunshot was fired, leaving a hole in the side of the convention centre. Monte Cristo Martinez and his 14-year-old son, Elijah, live not far from the convention centre. Police eventually formed a line outside the convention centre, armed with batons and canisters of pepper spray.
