Two concertgoers were taken to hospital with life-threatening injuries during the Guns N’ Roses performance at Commonwealth Stadium in Edmonton on Wednesday.
Emergency Health Services (EHS) Alberta told CTV News paramedics arrived at around 9:20 p.m. for the first person, who was in an unstable and potentially life-threatening condition. They were taken and treated en route to hospital.
Paramedics responded again at 10 p.m. for a person in critical life-threatening condition. EHS said paramedics provided advanced life support on the way to hospital.
EHS reported taking one other person to hospital in stable, non-life-threatening condition.
The Edmonton Police Service said there were no reported criminal incidents involving injury. A police representative called it an “an average concert event with a few ejections for intoxication or fighting.”
The City of Edmonton reported that 32,200 fans came out for the concert. On Friday, a city representative said it had no information about anyone requiring medical attention at the concert.
