KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Part of the roof and front facade of a
Family Dollar store in Kansas City, Missouri, collapsed Sunday,
killing a 68-year-old man and seriously injuring a 50-year-old
woman, authorities said.
The building's partial collapse occurred about 2:45 p.m. Sunday,
the Kansas City Fire Department said. Two other people also were
injured outside the building but were treated at the scene and
refused further medical care, according to local television news
reports.
Those television reports showed part of the roof and front
facade missing at what appeared to be the main entrance of the
store, with brick, stone and wood debris on the ground.
Fire Department Battalion Chief Mike Hopkins said the man who
died may have been walking by the building at the time. The
woman who was seriously injured remained hospitalized.
KMBC-TV reported that a public inspection record said that
someone reported Friday that the building had begun “slowly
tilting.” Authorities did not yet have an explanation for the
collapse.
