It was right in the square and everyone could tell something major had happened. It was necessary because often what happens when people think there's a reason to panic and no explanation for what's going on they instinctively start running.
With 60000 people in the square all it takes is rumours shouting from the crowd "mass shooter!!!!" and you could have literally dozens of trampling deaths. They did the best they could - alert the crowd that there is an emergency, but suggest it's not in the immediate area (very smart and calculated word choice by Devlin or whoever informed him), and reassure everyone that staying where you are is the best option.
Executed perfectly.
