– Travis and I are broken. My thoughts and prayers are with those who lost their lives or were injured in any way after yesterday’s events, Jenner writes on the account without.
The couple is currently expecting their second child.
Scott commented on the incident Saturday night:
“I am just devastated by what happened yesterday. My prayers go out to the families and those affected by the incident during the Astroworld Festival. The Houston Police Department has my full support as they continue their investigation into the tragic loss of life. “
“I am committed to working with the community in Houston to heal and support families in need. Thanks to the Houston Police Department, Fire Department and NRG Park for their immediate response and support. Love you all.”
The rapper has also received criticism for holding the concert and festival “Astroworld” which had the tragic outcome.
These chaotic scenes unfolded at the concert in Houston:
On social media, there are several who react to the fact that Scott, who himself performed during the concert, did not stop the music earlier.
Houston police have opened a criminal investigation after the incident on Friday. On Saturday night, police in Houston announced that they had opened a criminal investigation after unconfirmed reports that someone in the audience “injected drugs into people”, according to Reuters.
One of the messages the police have received is from a security guard who felt a tingling in his neck when he tried to help someone. Shortly afterwards, he lost consciousness. Medical personnel found needle marks on the guard’s shoulder.
Police have not concluded that such episodes may have had a contributing cause to people dying, but police chief Troy Finner told Reuters that “one should get to the bottom of this”.
