Eight people were killed and several injured in a crowd surge at a music festival in Houston on Friday night, in what the city’s mayor called “a tragedy on many different levels”.
Speaking to reporters on Saturday, Sylvester Turner said the dead ranged in age from 14 to 27, the second teenaged victim being 16 years old. Thirteen of 25 people taken to hospital were still in care, he said, five of them under the age of 18.
