In a heartbreaking turn of events, Beyond Wonderland EDM festival’s final day came to a sudden halt following a devastating mass shooting that claimed the lives of two individuals and left several others injured, Your Content has learned.
As law enforcement delves into the investigation, some prominent performers have decided not to take the stage.
The alarming incident unfolded on Saturday night, around 8:30 PM, at a campground adjacent to the Gorge Amphitheater in Central Washington state, where the festival had been taking place.
According to authorities, the assailant, in a chaotic attempt to escape, indiscriminately fired into the crowd.
Police managed to swiftly apprehend the suspect, who, in a cruel twist, had also sustained a gunshot wound.
However, crucial details regarding the suspect have yet to be disclosed by law enforcement officials.
Startlingly, despite the tragedy, the festival persevered on Saturday night.
The campground, situated a short distance away from the main stage, remained operational.
However, organizers made the difficult decision to cancel the Sunday lineup, which had promised electrifying performances by renowned artists such as Afrojack, Adventure Club, and DJ Marshmello.
This devastating incident marks the 307th mass shooting of the year, according to national statistics.
The community mourns the loss of innocent lives and stands united in calling for a comprehensive response to the ongoing issue of gun violence, according TMZ.
