It takes a few seconds to process what's going on.

Part of the act?
A car backfiring?
Fireworks?
Or a gunshot?
What's all this commotion about?
Honey, do you know what's going on?
What do I do?

In this case, they probably were texting and not really paying attention in the first place.

Looking at his phone--could be he is a reporter or someone else who needs to get the word out fast.
