A crowd crushing occurrence at Travis Scott’s third annual Astroworld music festival on Friday night in Houston took the lives of eight in attendance and hundreds of others suffering minor to severe injuries. The rest of the festival was canceled entirely following the incident on night one.

A criminal investigation is underway following the tragic incident. More than 15 lawsuits have already been filed. These allege that concert promoter Live Nation, festival organizer ScoreMore and Scott himself among others are responsible for the fatal crowd crush. 

Scott, a Houston native himself, released a statement on Twitter following the deadly night in Texas. 

“I am absolutely devastated by what took place last night,” the artist tweeted.

Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner confirmed to CNN’s Pamela Brown over the weekend that his team met to begin inspecting what happened at the concert. The investigation “will take weeks, if not longer,” he said. 

Several festival goers described the chaos that unraveled at Astroworld as “the most scared I’ve ever been.” The eight people who died include a 14-year-old, a 16-year-old, two 21-year-olds, two 23-year-olds and a 27-year-old. Reports confirm that a 9-year-old is also in a coma after being trampled by rushing fans. 

There are also claims of fans getting injected in the neck with fentanyl in the chaos of the crowd. However, these reports have not yet been confirmed.

Houston Police Chief Troy Finner stated Monday that he communicated “public safety concerns” to the “goosebumps” singer directly during a “brief and respectable” encounter before the start of Astroworld on Friday. 

Madeline Eskins, a loyal Astroworld fan who has gone to the festival every year, told Buzzfeed News that she saw people “getting carried away with eyes rolled back into their heads by security, bleeding from their nose and mouth.” 

Here’s everything we know about the aftermath of the festival.
