ILLINOIS — One person died and dozens were injured after the roof of a historic theater in Illinois collapsed during a suspected tornado Friday night, officials said.
More than 40 people were injured in the incident at the Apollo Theatre in Belvidere, which was hosting a heavy metal concert at the time, officials said. Among those transported via ambulance from the venue were two with life-threatening injuries, two with severe injuries, 18 with moderate injuries and five with minor injuries, according to Dan Zaccard, emergency management director for Boone County.
First responders were conducting triage at the scene, and those attending the concert helped remove debris from victims, officials said. The band Morbid Angel, which was performing at the Apollo Theatre, warned anyone still traveling to the venue to seek shelter.
