All eight of the victims who died during the concert were identified by the city of Houston on Monday with ages ranging from 27 to 14.
Houston Fire Chief Samuel Pena said on Tuesday that he « absolutely » believes Travis Scott should have stopped the Astroworld musical festival show on Friday that resulted in the death of eight people. During a recent interview with NBC ‘s Today show, Pena was asked by host Savannah Guthrie if he thinks that Scott should have called off the show « once he saw what was taking place. » In response to the question, Pena said, « absolutely. We all have a responsibility. Everybody at that event has a responsibility, starting from the artist, on down. » Pena continued, « The artist has command of that crowd and in my opinion, and this is my opinion right now because everything is going to be fleshed out throughout this investigation, but certainly, the artist, if he notices something that’s going on, he can certainly pause that performance, turn on the lights and say, ‘Hey we’re not going to continue until this thing is resolved.
