It was up to Live Nation Entertainment, the show’s promoter, to secure two mosh pits in front of the stage Friday night at the sold-out festival of 50,000 people, Houston Police Chief Troy Finner said at a news conference. He described staffing records handed over by organizers as “just not good” but emphasized that he was not placing any blame.
“I had no reason to believe that it wasn’t going to be safe,” Finner said. “But I’m the kind of chief that I meet with people whenever I can, and that includes him. We had a very respectful, few minute conversation on my concerns.”, Finner was defensive at times and criticized what he described as rumors and speculation surrounding what happened.About 530 Houston police officers worked the festival, more than twice as many as when the festival was last held in 2019, according to Finner.
Finner said there was no evidence that a security guard near the crowd had unknowingly received an injection during the show, despite reports.
I can’t believe the concert wasn’t stopped by police! They had the authority to do so, soon after the first cases of injury &/or death? Strange why they didn’t.
