MEXICO CITY (AP) — The roof of a church collapsed in northern Mexico during a Mass on Sunday, killing an undetermined number of people among approximately 30 parishioners believed trapped in the rubble, authorities said.
The Tamaulipas state police said that about 100 people were in the church at the time of the collapse and that about 30 were still inside.
“From underneath the rubble, thanks to Divine Providence and the work of the rescue teams, people have been pulled out alive!” Alvarez's diocese wrote in a statement posted on it social media accounts. “Let's keep praying!” Photos published by local media showed what appeared to be a concrete and brick structure, with parts of the roof fallen almost to the ground.
