Two people died and more than a dozen were injured in New York City after a building collapsed.
FDNY Commissioner Lillian Bonsignore updated casualty figures late in the day, reporting 19 patients, including two fatalities, four people in critical condition and 12 in stable condition. A firefighter was also slightly injured during the emergency response.
The building collapsed at around 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time and New York Fire Department crews responded within a minute to the three-story building collapse.
The collapse occurred in Brooklyn's Flatbush neighborhood, where emergency crews continued searching for anyone who may still be trapped beneath the rubble.
It was not clear at press time how many people may still be trapped inside the building or what caused the collapse.
The FDNY Chief said that another nearby building was threatening to collapse.
