CINCINNATI (AP) — A balcony on the third floor of a building
near the University of Cincinnati collapsed Friday evening,
sending 10 people to the hospital, including one person in
critical condition, according to officials.
Five of the people had serious injuries, while four had minor
injuries, Cincinnati Police Department Capt. Stephen Bower said
during a news conference. He described the building as a place
where a lot of students live.
“They had a big exam today and they were celebrating,” he said.
Officials are investigating the collapse, Frank McKinley,
Cincinnati fire chief, told WKRC-TV.
It was not immediately clear the number of people on the balcony
when it collapsed.
In photos and video posted online, a balcony can be seen on the
ground as fire and police officials work nearby.
