Have you seen that?” she asked the audience. “F---ing dare you,” she continued, holding up the t-shirt cannon. “Dare you to throw something at me.” She then proceeded to shoot a t-shirt into the crowd. “Stop throwing thing......

One person died and nine others were injured when a crowd surged after a concert in Rochester, New York, according to police, who said Monday there’s no evidence gunfire preceded the stampede. The chaos at the Main Street Armory ramped up shortly after 11 p.m. Sunday following a show headlined by the rapper GloRilla. “As people began to exit, the crowd began to surge and rush toward the exit.
