GloRilla Rochester Concert Attendees Recount Escaping Deadly ... (Rolling Stone)

GloRilla fans who attended the rapper's Rochester, New York concert at Main Street Armory recount escaping the stampede that left two individuals dead.

“The moment of relief was as soon as I hit the stairs and seen people just standing around watching like nothing was happening and like they didn’t see us being pushed back inside of a place with no exit and nowhere to run,” she says. “I Iiterally screamed to tell people to stop pushing and to help the people on the ground stand up. I wasn’t able to help her because she wasn’t moving and I was too scared to touch her,” Redfield wrote, “The staff from the Armory was pushing us back into the Armory, but we were yelling that they couldn’t do that because everyone in the back would not stop pushing,” De Jesus recalls. A rep for the venue did not respond to Rolling Stone‘s request for comment. “I felt all the air leaving my lungs, my whole body hurt. Despite eight Rochester police officers being stationed directly outside, “the venue was not prepared to handle an incident of this magnitude at all,” De Jesus says. Online reviews for the venue often specifically call out a deficiency in proper security practices both at the door and inside of the venue. “I was literally being suffocated while trying to help people on the ground stand up. “I didn’t see anything but the whole crowd pushing everyone towards the bathroom like a wave pool,” she tells Rolling Stone, recalling that multiple doors were blocked off by security and police following a rumored physical altercation outside of the venue. Among them were 28-year-old Tamira De Jesus, who had heard mixed reviews about the venue in the past – claims that suggested that it should have been shut down long ago and more sinister accusations that it was a death trap. “People [began] to fall over and get stepped on.” With even fewer points of exit, the crowd erupted into hysteria.
