Things took an incredibly surprising turn for Young Thug and his crew Sunday night in Pittsburgh when local police and a SWAT team rushed them with guns in hand, according to TMZ.

The incident went down following Young Thug's performance at Summer Jam at the Southside Event Center. Security from the venue allegedly alerted cops about seeing someone in the rapper's entourage swinging a gun. The insane video opens up with someone swearing before authorities quickly run over to the black van and begin yelling what sounds like, "Hands up!" This is when the person recording drops their camera so that it looks upward and we can only hear what happens next. Soon, someone is shouting "Get down!"  before inaudible collection of shouts drowns out the rest of the video. 

Thug's team did have four guns on them, but they were all licensed to carry and showed their paperwork to the officers on the scene. No one was arrested, but it's still a scary situation to watch unfold in the video, given the country's recent series of tragic events.

Meanwhile, Thugger has been dominating this year in terms of releases and shows, sharing two projects in 2016, including I'm Up and Slime Season 3, and hitting up a string of tour dates earlier this year before tearing up a performance of "Digits" just last week.

Thug has not made any public mention of anything on social media yet, and his camp did not immediately respond to Complex's request for comment.
