For the past three years The Astroworld Festival has become one of the hottest music festivals to attend, but this year it was canceled after the first night…
CelebnMusic247.com reports that The Astroworld Festival ended in tragedy when 8 people were killed and hundreds were injured.
Here is what is being reported at Travis Scott Astroworld Festival:
A large crowd began pushing towards the front of the stage during Travis’ set at Houston’s NRG Park, causing panic in the crowd of tens of thousands. “People began to fall out, become unconscious and it created additional panic,” Houston Fire Chief Sam Pena said at a news conference.
According to TMZ, one of the eight dead is a 14-year-old. Eleven people went into cardiac arrest and were rushed to the hospital. More than 300 concertgoers were taken to the field hospital.
Travis reportedly stopped the show during his 75-minute live-streamed set after noticing some of the fans in the front seemed in distress. He told security to make sure they weren’t hurt and asked medics to help one person. – TMZ
People were really jumping on the cars of security personnel when they were trying to get to unconscious people in the crowd. This shit is disgusting. Look at these weirdos. #ASTROWORLDFest pic.twitter.com/Ctc0cvgBUV

An unconfirmed report from TMZ claims that someone in the crowd began injecting people with some sort of drug. Authorities are trying to determine if those who went into cardiac arrest were the ones injected.
Was there someone sticking needles in people at Astroworld?
Houston Police Chief Troy Finner told reporters the security officer “felt a prick in his neck” before falling unconscious and having to be revived by medical staff.
