00:00I just want to send out prayers to the, to the ones that was lost last night.
00:18I'm honestly just devastated.
00:21We've been working closely with everyone to just try to get to the bottom of this.
00:35What caused the surge?
00:37We don't know, but we will find out.
00:39And is there anything criminal?
00:43We've heard rumors of people injecting some people of drugs.
00:59Oh shit, oh shit, oh shit!
01:20Help, help!
01:33Suddenly we had several people down on the ground experience some type of cardiac arrest
01:38or some type of medical episode.
01:43And so we immediately started doing CPR and moving people right then.
01:52I was seeing two bodies laying down right behind me.
01:56And the whole time I was just thinking that they were passed out.
02:00And then once the security guard was just right next to me talking to another security guard
02:04saying that he didn't have a pulse.
02:07That's when I was just in complete shock.
02:10Right now, he's not having a pulse.
02:17Over 300 patients were treated at the field hospital that was set up out here at this location.
02:24At no point during the concert did the PA system, did the video boards,
02:44did any public way of communicating broadcast any sort of message that there was any sort of danger.
02:54My brother was lying on the ground.
03:05They were chanting to stop the event.
03:08Nobody stopped the event.
03:10Music producers, security, everybody, I was there.
03:15I lost my brother because of it.
03:25We do have a report of a security officer,
03:29according to the medical staff that was out and treated him last night,
03:34that he was reaching over to restrain or grab a citizen and he felt a prick in his neck.
03:41When he was examined, he went unconscious.
03:44They administered Narcan.
03:48He was revived and the medical staff did notice a prick that was similar to a prick
03:56that you would get if somebody's trying to inject you.
04:06This is not something you would expect to be doing after going to a festival,
04:10going to a memorial for the people that died in this festival.
