Two people were killed and 23 were injured at the South by Southwest festival in Austin late last night.

The deaths have been attributed to a drunk driving incident outside the Mohawk club, and the suspect has been taken into custody, Spin Magazine reports.

Though the Mohawk was forced to cancel the rest of the night's events (https://twitter.com/mohawkaustin/statuses/443991559101358080), you can be assured that the festival will go on as planned today.

Today's show features lineup of musicians including, the Dum Dum Girls, Soundgarden, and Speedy Ortiz, among many others.
