The first night of Travis Scott's Astroworld Festival ended in tragedy.
50,000 fans were packed into NRG Park to see performances by Master P, Don Toliver, Metro Boomin, Lil Baby, SZA and more.
When event organizer and headliner, Travis Scott, hit the stage the crowd surged forward, leaving many fans unable to breathe.
Some passed out and were trampled. A total of eight people were killed, including a 10-year old child, and many more injured.
Paramedics worked to revive unconscious concert goers. Some of whom had gone into cardiac arrest.
According to TMZ, something nefarious may contributed to or been the cause of the tragedy.
"A source connected to Astroworld tells TMZ, someone in the crowd went crazy and began injecting people with some sort of drug, which caused panic and then a surge. The source says authorities are trying to determine if those who went into cardiac arrest were the ones injected. We're told one of those who died is a 10-year-old. The source says it appears to be a targeted attack. We have not confirmed this report, but the source is a key person involved in the festival."
Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims, their friends and family.
