Multiple people have reportedly been injured at the opening night of Travis Scott's sold-out Astroworld Festival in Houston, Texas on Friday.
Dozens of ambulances, multiple medics and other personnel were seen tending to people at the third annual festival, a sold-out concert featuring multiple acts.
Videos posted to social media showed officials giving CPR to some fans in the crowd as Scott continued to play. Some appeared to have been badly bleeding, as fans say they saw some people appearing lifeless.
The Houston Fire Department told ABC 13 CPR was performed on at least two people, and Zack Tawatari, a reporter for KHOU, tweeted that he can confirm 'several people' have been transported to the hospital.
It remains unclear what caused the injuries, what the injuries were, and how many people were injured as of early Saturday morning, but authorities told FOX 26 that a lot of people are in need of medical attention on the scene....

Literally who cares?
I thought festival seating was done after The Who concert. Who would want to be up front in such a situation in which you can get crushed forward? Some people have such unhinged fervor about entertainment, you can see how they can get them to gamble their health with an experimental vax to attend concerts.
I am a police officer here in Houston. I am retiring soon so I put in a application into the security company that had a contract with this event. The security company is a higher end one that recruits retired officers and military. They could not get enough folks to sign up so they offered hourly pay plus 300 a day or per diem. Now we know way. Savages will be savages.
wow, people dying and you say who cares?
sure people die everyday but that’s some huge calousness you got there. if you weren’t interested you shouldn’t have clicked or at least not commented and shown your true heart about people other than yourself.
