Rapper Travis Scott says he is 'devastated' by the 8 deaths at the Astroworld festival as officials conduct a criminal investigation into what happened, Houston police chief says.
Rapper Travis Scott said in a video Saturday night that he could not have imagined the"severity of the situation" at Friday's Astroworld festival in Houston, where"I'm honestly just devastated. I could never imagine anything like this just happening," Scott said in an Instagram story posted on his account.
The victims' identities and cause of death have not yet been released, but Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner said Saturday one was 14, another was 16, two were 21, two were 23, one was 27 and one person's age has not been determined. "My fans really mean the world to me and I always just really want to leave them with a positive experience," Scott said in the video."Anytime I can make out ... anything that's going on, I'd stop the show and ... help them get the help they need."The chaos unfolded Friday shortly after 9 p.m. local time when the crowd of 50,000"began to compress toward the front of the stage," Houston fire Chief Samuel Peña said at a news conference early Saturday.
ICU nurse Madeline Eskins, from Spring, Texas, was among the attendees who suddenly felt a crush of bodies and became unable to breathe. "There was only one stretcher for three people out where I was at," she said."There was no IV kit. There was nothing to give them." The fire department had staged ambulances around the venue in case something happened, and requested additional units when the situation escalated, Peña said.
