11:48 AM PT -- The United Center tells TMZ ... "We are working closely with authorities to investigate all incidents from last evening at the WGCI Summer Jam show. It became apparent for all involved that ending the show early was in everyone's best interest as the safety of our guests and employees is a priority.
"We are thankful that initial incident reports were false and that guests exited the facility safely."
Lil Durk did not finish his show Saturday night, because cops descended on the venue after receiving reports of an active shooter.
Durk was nearing the end of the concert at the United Center in Chicago Saturday night, when pandemonium erupted as the crowd ran for the exits.
Cops showed up with rifles, on the hunt for a shooter, but Chicago PD said it turned out to be a false alarm. Chicago is on high alert these days, where shootings have become tragically commonplace.

As the some of the concertgoers left the arena, they helped themselves to some merch ... whoever was working the merch stand apparently ran with the rest of the crowd.
Lil Durk posted about the show after and shouted out the fans who stole the merch.
There were no injuries reported and no arrests were made. We reached out to the United Center ... so far no word back.
