Per the tweet, there were no gunshots, and no injuries were reported.
The curfew currently applies only to weekends at Universal Orlando‘s CityWalk–and only to guests who are under the age of 18 and unaccompanied by a parent or guardian. Again, Universal has stated that the restrictions currently in place are subject to change, meaning that there could be changes to the days of the week affected by the change, and to guests who are affected by the change.
