Two Dead and Nine Injured in Rochester Concert Stampede} A concert at Rochester’s Main Street Armory, featuring rappers GloRilla and Finesse2tymes, turned deadly as a crowd surge resulted in the death of two concertgoers and injuries to nine others. False fears of a shooting caused attendees to push towards the exits, leading to the stampede. The police did not find any evidence of shots being fired or any stabbings. Investigations into the crowd size, pepper spray, and other contributing factors are ongoing. GloRilla, who was nominated for a rap performance Grammy Award this year, expressed shock and prayed for the injured.
