A Free Show, Then A Surge

The strongest accessible account says 21 people were trampled or suffered heat exhaustion. Of those, 9 were taken to hospitals and the remaining people were treated at the scene.

Police said too many tickets had apparently been distributed. The club owner, Terri Gresham, was cited for overcrowding and obstruction of an exit.
