Shooting on party in Caracas, Venezuela

November 6, 2007 | Filed Under Events, Videos |

A sad day for clubbing in Venezuela. Unofficial reports say 4 people are dead and 9 others were wounded in an early morning shootout during a Carl Cox show over the weekend in Caracas, Venezuela. (more). Apparently it was gang related, two guns were found on the spot. Carl cox issued a statement on his website too.

“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.
