Killings at Carl Cox show in Caracas -

That is absolutely unbelievable.

Concert VJ Words (Who took the video):

http://www.vjforums.com/showthread.php?p=179719

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 nigh, 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.

I may upload the video later on, I am not in the mood to even grab my video camera and take a look at the images.

According to sources from South America:

Runs the news about a tragedy and a number of deaths in the concert of electronic DJ Carl Cox during the festival moved techno or electronic call Noise Network, which was held last night at La Rinconada Terrace.

This morning's blog Martin Valero powerfully drew attention to a post on an alleged tragedy during the concert last night of DJ Carl Cox / Network Noise which was held last night in Caracas and where participáría vocalist Lebanese Nadia Ali.

We tried to confirm the case but nobody knew anything. Given the importance and gravity of the story I found very strange that no digital newspaper El Universal on line or on line Cadena Capriles, make reference to the time of the incident.

I thought then that's what DJ Carl Cox / Network Noise was a joke or rumor very bad taste in consumption of the product may Ecstasy. Those balls circulating on the Internet and to which we are accustomed.

But I go back to get Noticiero Digital / forum confirms the tragedy, insisting that there were several killed by gunfire in the electronic moved Carl Cox or feast Noise Network.

However clear and stress that it is still unclear the type of a situation, neither the number of deaths or injuries, which occurred during the early morning and in the so-called big move electronic Terrace La Rinconada.

I've deleted the video from your post VitaminDLW. In my opinion we don't need to see this horrible scenes.

After what I read around there are 4 dead, and 9 wounded, and thats just terrible, If it's true!!

There are no news on this on any serious stations or sites. Nothing on Carl Cox's site, but many post's around regarding this, but that's it for now.

Let's see where this end! It's not very pleasant anyway, true or not.
It's about music! Not one music style is better than the other, not one music style is more truly than the other. The whole thing is based on respect. It's all music, music never separates people!

Carl Cox comments:
"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."

Yes, now it's offical. Carl Cox has posted this on his site www.carlcox.com

This is the whole statement :

05 Nov 07

“I am deeply shocked and still stunned by the events of Saturday [3rd November]. My condolences go out to victims that were caught up in the 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 find it such a sad moment in electronic music as this was probably one of the best set up shows I had played in South America – a sign of real progress…yet utterly hijacked by this mindless act. Again, my heart goes out to those that have died or been injured. This is NOT what the dance scene is about and is a million miles away from what I want to do, or promote.”

Coxy.

That's just wrong. :(

Why would someone go to a party and start shooting at random people is beyond me.

This is terrible. Why would someone want to ruin a Carl Cox concert? Sadly though this happens every once in awhile. Concerts just sometimes go terribly wrong. Just makes you respect the performers that much more for continuing to perform even after something like this.
