One person is dead and over 40 are injured after the roof of a theater in Belvidere, Illinois collapsed during a heavy metal concert.
At least one person was killed and 48 others were injured after severe storms rolled through northern Illinois and caused the roof of the Apollo Theatre to collapse on Friday night, with hundreds in attendance for a heavy metal concert.
Two of the injured were in a “life-threatening” condition and officials have not identified the person who was killed, The Chicago Tribune reports.
At this time, it is unknown if a tornado touched down in Belvidere, Illinois, which is about 70 miles northwest of Chicago, but other buildings in the downtown area of the town of about 25,000 people suffered significant damage and wind speeds of 90mph were clocked.
A little less than 300 people were inside the theater for a show headlined by Florida death metal band Morbid Angel, along with the groups Crypta, Skeletal Remains, and Revocation.
