One person was killed and 28 others were injured after a full roof collapse at the Apollo Theatre in Belvidere, Illinois
Approximately 260 people, including guests, performers and staff, were inside the venue for a metal rock concert at the time of the collapse, according to the event coordinator. Belvidere is in northern Illinois, approximately 14 miles outside the city of Rockford. Despite severe weather in the region, there were no reports of an “actual tornado” hitting the area, Belvidere Fire Chief Shawn Schadle said. Twenty-eight people were transported by ambulance to nearby hospitals, Schadle said.
“Right now, the MABAS 8 TRT rescue team is still operating behind us. They’re performing the secondary searches. They’re also looking into the stabilization of the building,” Schadle said. Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker said he is “closely monitoring” the situation. “I’ve been in touch with officials for updates and to direct any available resources we can,” he said in a tweet Friday night. “As we learn more, please follow the guidance of all local authorities.
