Exegesis
The sequence ti estin to gegonos {τί ἐστιν τὸ γεγονός | tí estin tò gegonós} forms an indirect question ‘what the thing that has happened is’ with the present estin supporting the resultative nuance of the perfect participle gegonós. The repeated kai thus structures a rapid chain of actions: fleeing, reporting, and communal investigation.
In context — Mark 5:14
And those feeding them ran away and reported it in the city and in the countryside . Then people went out to see what had happened.
