Él recuerda que durante 30 segundo o más esperó a ver qué pasaba y con la esperanza de que alguno de los que estaban en el piso se moviera. “Había mucha sangre en sus camisas blancas, en el suelo, en los pantalones beige, alguien sin zapato y en medio de la pista un celular”.

Pasó rato antes de que llegara algún policía y los primeros en aparecer fueron dos funcionarios de Protección Civil.

VJ Rei:

I was doing my last concert by requiest of one of the promoters last night. I was retairing because I was seek of so many idiots driving production companies, people without education. The owners of the productions companies start tu cut corners and hire people without experience.

Last night, 15 meter from me when Carl Cox started his show and 10 minutes into it some one started to shot every one. I sounded like firecrackers, so fast I didn’t think was a gun. Everybody started to run like crazy.

I was in the main, doing my visuals and filming the show. I just grabbed the camera and started to film everything what was going on.

3 dead body’s on the floor, a young guy, a woman and a man. The husband of the woman was shot as well in the leg. Several others people as well but they managed to run.

Mute, my VJ was infront of the shooter, his girlfriend saw the guy with the gun and gave a warning. Mute, saw the guy starting to shoot, stoped and keep shooting and then the shooter realized what he just did and ran.

The party was going so well.

I knew the sponsor, I knew the promoters. The sponsor was Marlboro and was a good guy. The promoters too but no one of security was checking for weapons or anything.

es cierto anoche estuve en la terraza de la rinconada y a la 1:30 un degraciado descargo su pistola no pense que eran tiros ya que antes habian lanzado fuegos artificiales y pense que era lo mismo derrepente la gente empezo a correr y al voltear solo vi unos cuerpos en el piso cuando nos acercamos fue verdaderamente triste al ver a esas personas agonisando y una chica bañada en sangre con su pareja tendida en el piso al lado otro chamo y llega una muchacha y al verlo dice ese es mi hermano. en total vi 4 muertos y 3 heridos y me fui, es triste que si en este tipo de espectaculos ya existe estos antecedentes sigan haciedolos con una seguridad tan mala y escaza no es la primera vez y no sera la ultima por culpa de unos pajuos que no saben controlar su nota que se meten tantas pepas que por solo mirarlos o tropezarlos ya eso es la chispa para que explote un peo y lo peor es que como siempre mueren los inocentes por estar en la linea de fuego

It’s true. Last night I was on the terrace at the club and at 1:30 this fucker fired his gun. I didn’t think they were gunshots as previously they had fired off some fireworks and I thought it was the same. Suddenly people started to run and when I turned around I saw some bodies on the floor. When we got closer it was really sad to see those people in agony and a girl bathed in blood with her husband on the floor next to another guy. Another woman saw and started to cry ‘that’s my brother.’ Altogether, it was 4 dead and 3 wounded and I left. It’s sad that if at this type of event these things keep happening with such bad and insufficient security that it’s not the first time, it will not be the last at the fault of some assholes who didn’t know how to control what kind of jerks get in. That just by looking at them or finding them by mistake, just that is the spark that causes the explosion and the worst is that innocent people die just for being in the line of fire.

UPDATE: Carl Cox issues statement:

I am deeply shocked and still stunned by the events of this Saturday [3rd November]. My condolences go out to victims that were caught up in this horrific act that took place at this gig. I am informed that it was gang related and feel so sad that anybody would act in such a manner when the event was full of 7000 people having fun! I will try my best to continue on the tour across South America however deeply shocked and shaken I am.
