A stampede at a concert in an overcrowded nightclub on Italy’s central Adriatic coast has killed five teenagers and a woman who had accompanied her daughter to the event, police said. Six killed in stampede at nightclub in ItalyVideo taken outside the venue in the town of Corinaldo, near Ancona, showed scores of teenagers rushing out of a door and surging towards a low railing or wall near the exit. The “giving way of two parapets due to the crush of the young people getting out” probably caused the tragedy, interior minister Matteo Salvini told RAI. Italian media said the woman who was killed had gone with her daughter to the Lanterna Azzurra disco where rapper Sfera Ebbasta was set to perform.
