Two teen-agers were killed and about 30 others were injured in Nashville, Tenn., when hundreds of youngsters tried to crowd into a room at Memorial Auditorium where a party was being held following a rock concert, authorities said. An 18-year-old girl died at General Hospital after the incident, which was reported to police shortly before midnight. Police Capt. Bill Hamblin said the youths apparently stampeded as they tried to make their way from the main auditorium to a party downstairs sponsored by the promoters of the rap group, Public Enemy Number One. Hamblin said the youngsters had been promised a chance to meet the rock musicians if they made a donation to the needy.
