Nine people have since died of their injuries.

Travis’ attorney, Edwin F. McPherson, appeared on “Good Morning America.”

McPherson says Travis didn’t know the severity of the situation until the next morning.

McPherson also blamed police for not acting quickly, at the festival.

[{"selector":"#anim-b087e6b5-3c18-4698-94d8-460e75212a40","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-2ae5dcfd-a10c-4e59-86f9-73c86ac96b2d","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(115.45741%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-3d8a9383-7233-443f-9d0b-cdcda88065ed","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Travis was trying to perform, and wasn’t notified of what happened in the crowd.

[{"selector":"#anim-3acd9707-bce6-4b6e-9e97-61fb7016440a","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-b3e85898-ce29-4b8f-be22-3d22483a0661","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(115.45741%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-862e5512-9340-4fc2-9e1c-3fab519402f2","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Travis was focused on his performance, as he had an ear monitor, on him.

[{"selector":"#anim-f82c4462-2995-4eba-a871-f35ccfe4893c","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-d2861c71-edbd-4fc4-b302-cb557f6789d5","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(115.45741%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-7843504d-9806-48b3-9013-dcb3526a07f1","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Travis also couldn’t hear fans asking for help.

[{"selector":"#anim-d2b2f456-2db9-4faa-b5bc-e613a71f7d31","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-01e5dce8-8296-4f79-a09f-74ba7dfeb8c9","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(115.45741%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-81140669-476d-48a3-bba8-cd045f1df282","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Travis ended up being notified of what happened, at Dave & Buster’s afterparty.
