At least eight people were killed in Houston on Friday night after a huge crowd gathered for the Astroworld music festival began to compress near the stage area, causing a panic, according to reports.
"Our hearts are broken," Lina Hidalgo, the Harris County judge, told KHOU-TV of Houston. "People go to these events looking for a good time, a chance to unwind, to make memories. It’s not the kind of event you go to where you expect to find out about fatalities. … Obviously, this is the last place we want to be – especially after we’ve been through so much as a community. But we have incredibly capable law enforcement officials here."
The event was held at NRG Park. Music fans had gathered to see performances by singer Travis Scott and others, the report said.
Scott also performed at the same event in 2019, when a similar but less tragic panic occurred.
