More than 30 police cars, multiple ambulances and at least one firetruck converged on an area near a bus shack, according to other videos posted after 5:30 p.m. on Sunday.
All emergency vehicles except a few police cars were gone by 6 p.m.
An area around the bus shack was taped off by police, with several orange pylons placed inside the area.
