HOUSTON — The investigation into the stampede leaving at least eight people dead and many others injured on Friday night at the Astroworld Festival in Houston, U.S. state Texas, has been underway, Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner said on Saturday afternoon.
Up to 25 people had been transported to the hospital following the incident, and 13 of them were still being hospitalized, including five people under the age of 18, according to the mayor. Investigators will review video from the scene and look at how the venue was laid out and whether it had enough exit points so as to explore “what caused, one, the issue of the crowd surge, and two, what prevented people from being able to escape that situation,” said Chief of the Houston Fire Department Samuel Pena.
Video from the event showed Scott paused and looked on in confusion during the performance as an ambulance with flashing lights moved into the densely packed crowd.
