Following Saturday night’s major incident at a Carl Cox gig in Venezuala which left 4 people shot dead, the DJ has made the following statement.

“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 accross South America however deeply shocked and shaken I am.”

Graphic video footage filmed by a VJ who was working at the gig has now been removed from YouTube. It showed the direct aftermath of the shooting and highlighted the lack of any coordinated action by security.

Update - the video is now available again here, but be warned, the contents are graphic.
