Narrative:

During taxi into gate, after landing, smoke began to rapidly fill the cockpit and cabin. The jet was just pulling into the gate, so an emergency evacuate/evacuation was initiated by the captain as the agent was putting the jet bridge onto the aircraft. There were no injuries or complaints from the passenger. Subsequent postflt showed smoke coming from the right air conditioning pack.
