Hi, Imagine there is a new shop opening in the area you live. Everyone is super excited and all your neighbours want to be at its opening since there will be huge sales. The moment this mass of people enters the shop is called a stampede. "Once the doors were opened, people stampeded to grab items on sale." It can also be used in a frightening situation, such as a fire alarm. "After hearing the fire alarm, people stampede towards the emergency exit."
STAMPEDE is a situation where a large group of frightened animals or people all run in the same direction.
The best way I could describe it is ‘all at once’, ‘all of a sudden’.
