Tragedy Strikes Northern Mexico as Church Roof Collapses During Mass, Killing at Least Nine and Injuring 50

A tragic incident occurred in northern Mexico on Sunday when the roof of a church collapsed during a Mass, killing at least nine people and injuring around 50. The state security spokesman’s office confirmed the casualties and said that the collapse was likely caused by “a structural issue.”

Searchers worked late into the night to search for survivors and other victims, crawling under the roof slabs and using dogs to help with the search. It is estimated that around 30 parishioners were trapped in the rubble when the roof caved in.

Local authorities have launched an investigation into the incident and are currently working to identify the victims and provide assistance to those affected. The Mexican government has also expressed its condolences to the families of the victims and has offered its support to the local community.

The incident has been met with shock and sadness from the local community, with many people gathering at the scene to pay their respects and offer their support. The church has been closed for the time being, and a memorial service is being planned for the victims.
