Judge @LinaHidalgoTX up next: "No one -- no parent, no friend, no sibling -- should see their loved one off to a concert by a world-renowned artist and not expect them to come home safely." #KHOU11 #AstroworldFest

Judge @LinaHidalgoTX: “The families of those who died and everybody affected deserve answers about what took place last night. That’s why I’m calling for an objective independent investigation into what went on and how it could have been prevented.” #KHOU11 #AstroworldFest

According to Mayor @SylvesterTurner & HPD Chief @TroyFinner, 528 HPD officers provided security at #AstroworldFest in addition to 750 LiveNation security officers. #KHOU11

#KHOU11

According to @FireChiefofHFD Samuel Peña, "many" doses of NARCAN were administered at #astroworldfest Friday night. #KHOU11

Asked about what caused the deaths of the 8 victims, HPD Chief @TroyFinner answered: "We don’t have all that information and that is something I don’t want to speculate on." He added he wants to wait for the medical examiner's reports. #KHOU11 #astroworldfest

Of the 8 victims, Mayor @SylvesterTurner says six families have been notified. Judge @LinaHidalgoTX add investigators know the identity of the 7th victim, but haven't been able to contact family. Investigators are still working to identify the 8th victim. #KHOU11 #astroworldfest

*CORRECTION: It was a security officer, not a firefighter.

Houston's police and fire chiefs said they are actively investigating to find out what actually happened. #KHOU11
