4 killed at Sugarland concert and 9 seriously injured!Medics and rescue crews throughout Indianapolis converged on the State Fairgrounds, 1202 E. 38th St., after Hoosier Lottery Grandstand stage rigging for an outdoor concert collapsed, trapping and injuring fans. Preparations were under way at 10 p.m. to inflate large air bags to lift the rigging from the track.
Injured people were being taken to Methodist Hospital, according to Indiana State Police.
Sugarland posted this on Twitter just before 10 p.m.: "We are all right. We are praying for our fans, and the people of Indianapolis. We hope you'll join us. They need your strength."
Fallen stage rigging extended about 15 feet onto track, where up to 200 concert-goers were seated between the stage and the grandstand in a VIP area called the "Sugar Pit."
