"It is tragic that 10 innocent people were killed while trying to enjoy an evening of music and entertainment, something many of us do routinely and without a second thought to our safety. But a tragedy isn’t always a crime, and not every death is a homicide," said Ogg in a statement to ET."This grand jury’s determination has no impact on the many civil lawsuits pending."
In a statement to ET, Scott's attorney, Teddy Anastasiou, said Thursday's decision by the Harris County D.A.'s Office"confirms what we have known all along -- that Travis Scott is not responsible for the AstroWorld tragedy. This is consistent with investigative reporting by numerous media outlets and federal and state government reports that have squarely placed the onus for event safety crises on [organizers], operators and contractors -- not performers.
