James and the rest of the California Basketball Club were at a tournament just outside of Washington D.C. playing DeMatha Catholic on Saturday when a fight broke out in the stands, at which point someone reportedly shouted "gun," according to multiple reports.
Several videos posted to social media showed the chaos that ensued, including the players on the court running for safety.
