According to elPeriódico, Guatemalan police fired warning shots in the air and used pepper gas to disperse hundreds of METALLICA fans who tried to rush into the sold-out Estadio Mateo Flores (reported attendance: 27,000) in Guatemala City last night (Friday, March 5) in order to see the veteran metal act perform. The situation was eventually brought under control and the concert was reportedly a huge success despite a technical glitch that caused the power to go out during the second song of METALLICA's set, "For Whom The Bell Tolls". After a few minutes, the power came back on and METALLICA's performance resumed.

A five-minute report from Hechos.tv on the events surrounding last night's show can be viewed below.
