by Ryan Minic | Jul 31, 2012

The Summer Slaughter Tour was delayed in Tampa, Florida on Monday night after venue security forced an evacuation due to a shooting threat.

Concertgoers at The Ritz evacuated around 7pm EDT after an attendee reportedly overheard a threat made against Job For A Cowboy frontman Jonny Davy.

“Somebody had a gun and was bragging that they were going to shoot Johnny Davy [sic],” The Faceless guitarist Michael Keene tweeted.

Attendees were allowed back into the venue after police found no weapons, and were offered a complimentary drink on The Ritz.
