Authorities confirmed on Sunday that a criminal investigation is underway following the deaths of eight people during a stampede at a Travis Scott concert in Houston, reports USA Today.
The newspaper notes that Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner told CNN that the investigation “will take weeks, if not longer,” and that investigators have already begun reviewing the incident.
A witness at the event claimed that security was “out of control” before the show, which attracted 50,000 fans, even opened, reports USA Today.
