Police have identified a third victim who died following a stampede at GloRilla’s Rochester, New York concert, according to new reports.
False fears of a shooting at the rapper’s upstate New York concert sent a crowd surging towards the exits in a stampede that killed two people and left at least eight others injured, police said.
The casualties at Sunday (5 March) night’s concert featuring GloRilla and Finesse2tymes were caused by people being trampled, Police Chief David M Smith said at a news briefing on Monday (6 March).
“We do not have any evidence of gunshots being fired or of anyone being shot or stabbed at the scene,” Smith said.
As the concert at Rochester’s Main Street Armory ended just after 11pm Est, people exiting the venue began to surge dangerously. Police made their way inside and found three women with critical injuries, Smith said.
