Did a quick search for this and couldn't see it anywhere.
My wife, her cousin and I were at this event and were enjoying a milkshake before we decided to go into the concert. While we were having our milkshake was when the deaths occurred. I have never seen anything like this, there were ambulances coming and going from everywhere and noone had any idea what was going on.
We asked a cop where to go for the show and he said it was being shut down because someone had died.

The death toll from the stampede at the festival is at 19, police in Duisburg, Germany, said Sunday. Duisburg's Senior Mayor Adolf Sauerland said 340 festival goers were injured Saturday when chaos broke out at the "Love Parade 2010." Police have said as many as 400 were injured.
The deadly crush happened in an underpass between the main event site and the expansion area. Witnesses told CNN affiliate NTV that people pushed into the tunnel from both sides until it was dangerously overcrowded. The panic began as festival-goers began to lose consciousness as they were crushed against the walls and each other.
