Cops reveal crazed man injected victim with opioids before stampede that killed eight at Travis Scott concert, slam organizers of Astroworld Festival for taking 40 minutes to stop it and say youngest victim was 14-years-old
  • Eight people are dead and 'hundreds' more injured after a crush and stampede at Astroworld Festival in Texas
  • Rest of the festival has now been scrapped after revelers surged towards the stage on Friday just after 9pm
  • At the time, Travis Scott was performing on stage at the festival in Houston's NRG Park
  • 'One of the narratives was that some individual was injecting other people with drugs,' Houston Chief of Police Troy Finner said at a news conference on Saturday afternoon
  • 'He was reaching over to restrain or grab a citizen and he felt a prick in his neck. He went unconscious, they administered Narcan' Finner added
  • Disturbing video from the concert showed people lying unconscious in the middle of the crowd as officers and emergency personnel performed CPR while others were seen begging concert staff for help
  • Concert attendees are heard shouting 'stop the show, stop the show!'
  • Scott's pregnant girlfriend Kylie Jenner shared a video panning the audience to her Instagram story, which showed an emergency vehicle trying to make its way through the crowd
  • Seventeen people were taken to hospitals, with 11 of those in cardiac arrest, out of a crowd of 50,000
  • The two-day event was sold out after being cancelled last year due to Covid
  • Hours before the deadly crush, at 2pm, hundreds of revelers - who did not appear to have tickets - stormed the event's VIP entrance around yet the stampede did not appear to be related to the surge
  • Police are reportedly working to identify the victims are are awaiting the medical examiner's investigation to determine a cause of death

I'll never forget being at ACL a few years ago with a former girlfriend that wanted to get as close as possible to the stage for Eminem. We were probably 10 people off the stage and I just remember the crowd swaying and not being able to control your own body. I tried to keep her in front of me, seeing as I'm a pretty big guy and tried to keep the crowd movements from slamming against her. I'll never forget being in the middle of a wide open field and feeling like I was suffocating, just looking up to the sky to try and get a breath. Looking behind me and just seeing a mass of people as far as my eyes could go, it was surreal.

The next night was Pearl Jam (the band I was really there for) and she wanted to get super close again but I wasn't going to go through the same experience. I was perfectly fine being back a ways and not dealing with the mass of people again.

I know a few people that knew one of the kids that died this weekend. I covered him when he was a basketball/football player at one of our local high schools, just a tragic event!
