The two techniques that might be used to imply that something terrible has happened offscreen are:
A swell of dramatic music - This can create tension and suggest that something significant and possibly terrible has occurred without showing it directly.
A reaction shot showing onlookers’ expressions immediately after the event - This can convey emotional responses and indicate that something distressing has just taken place, without revealing the event itself.
