The latest on the roof collapse at the Apollo Theatre in Belvidere: 50-year-old man was killed, more than 40 hurt
Some of the 260 people attending the heavy metal concert at the Apollo Theatre pulled a man from the rubble after part of the roof collapsed; he was dead when emergency workers arrived, officials said.
In addition to the critically wounded, 18 suffered moderate injuries and another five transported by ambulance suffered minor injuries, Schadle said. Schadle said the Mutual Aid Box Alarm System Rescue Team was performing a second, more thorough search and was working to stabilize the building."It could have been a lot worse," he said.
He said Gov. J.B. Pritzker called him and vowed to help the community. The governor had tweeted Friday night that his administration is closely monitoring the situation and is in touch with local officials. "I was there within a minute before it came down," she told WTVO-TV."The winds, when I was walking up to the building, it went like from zero to a thousand within five seconds."
"It is significant with our downtown history," he said."I guess when you think about what it means to the city, we would like to have that. It's a landmark. In a way it's kind of like the city's brand."
