One of the many injured victims has been 9-year-old Ezra Blount.

Ezra is currently on life support, as he has brain and organ damage.

Ezra’s father, Treston. is now speaking about his situation, as he is hoping for a recovery.

Treston and Ezra bought tickets for the festival months ago.

Treston says that Ezra was a big Travis fan, so he wanted to get him tickets.

The two stood in the back of the crowd, to try to avoid any situation occurring.

Treston passed out, and Ezra went on to get trampled on, and severely injured.
