Police cleared the memorial on Sunday, without telling mourners why, according to witnesses who were there. The area was cleared after the initial panic, with reports saying that there was not another attack. One reporter told CNN that he’d “never seen anything like it” before.
The area is calm now, and officials have yet to say why it was cleared in the first place.
