One person has died and nearly 30 were injured during a roof collapse at aBelvidere Police Chief Shane Woody said during a late Friday news conference that officers responded to the Apollo theatre on North State Street, where the collapse occurred, leaving one person dead and at least 28 others injured.“Once we arrived, we conducted a search and rescue of patrons inside Apollo ... sole responsibility was to get individuals outside the building,” Woody said.
Authorities work the scene at the Apollo Theatre after a severe spring storm caused damage and injuries during a concert, late Friday, March 31, 2023, in Belvidere, Ill. A staffer working at Rockford’s Saint Anthony Medical Center said they treated 12 patients, none of whom had died. The staffer said the victims were split among three hospitals.
Other video showed numerous fire and police vehicles outside the Apollo. The streets were littered in debris, and a large overhanging sign outside the venue’s entrance had fallen.
