Fight Breaks Out In Hall H, Someone Stabbed In Eye Over Seat Squatting

Medics have been called to the San Diego Comic Convention, to Hall H, that specialises in showing footage and spotlighting cast and crew of upcoming movies.

Details are sketchy, but it appears that one person wearing a Harry Potter shirt was stabbed in the eye socket with a pen because they refused to move seats. It’s common practice in Hall H to stay for the next panels, despite, or indeed because, of such huge queues to get in. A stretcher was needed and blood was spilled. A suspect has been taken away in handcuffs by police  and security staff to a chorus of boos from the queuing audience. Well, there’s a big delay now after all.

People queue for Hall H overnight and, during the day, they are regularly three to four hours long. Certainly tempers can be high, as can temperatures, but there have been relatively few incidents of this type to date.

I understand that the management of Hall H are trying to proceed with the shows as normal but an hour delay is expected.

UPDATE: USA Today does some actual journalism.
