One music goer, Juliet Vahos, was in the crowd and said he suddenly heard a “rumbling noise”.
The 20-year-old T.I fan told Rolling Stone: “We were facing the stage on the ground floor, about three rows back from the gate of the stage. It sounded like there was a loud rumbling noise in the VIP section on the right balcony.
"It sounded like two shots. Some people were saying that it was 'just a fight.' About 30 seconds later, we definitely heard multiple gunshots. Everyone was running like you've never seen them run before."
Another, Heather Hallock, witnessed fans scramble to reach the exits before ambulances arrived.
Heather, 20, said: “People were falling down the stairs. There was a large woman who fell at the bottom of the stairs and people were running over her. We ran outside and across the street and waited there for the rest of our group. Ambulances started pulling up."
T.I. - who is married to Tameka Cottle - wrote on Instagram on Thursday: "Rest In Peace Bro. God bless."
