Texas Police Confirm Report of Unknown Individual Administering Drugs During Astroworld Festival
The deadly stampede at Astroworld Festival in Houston, Texas, happened
on Friday during the performance of rapper Travis Scott. At least
eight people died and
tens of spectators were injured, with the exact cause of the incident still undetermined.
An
unidentified person reportedly
was jabbing spectators with a drug during the performance at Astroworld Festival on Friday, according to Houston Police Chief Troy Finner.
“We do have a report of a security officer… who was reaching over to restrain a citizen and he felt
a prick in his neck,” he told the reporters at a press conference. “He went unconscious and they administered
Narcan and he was revived. The medical staff did notice a prick that was similar to if somebody was trying to inject.”
Nevertheless, police will have to wait for the autopsy to determine the causes of death for each of those killed.
