A Kansas City man was killed and three others were injured Sunday when the roof of a Family Dollar store partially collapsed.
The incident occurred about 2:45 p.m. when the 68-year-old man was walking by the building and the front facade of the building came down, the Kansas City Fire Department said. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
A 50-year-old woman also remains hospitalized after suffering serious injuries. Two people were injured outside the building but were treated at the scene.
According to reports, the building was recently reported as “slowly tilting” last week.
Ron Dixon took photos of the building’s facade last week and Sunday morning.
“I said to myself, yeah, that’s going to fall today or tomorrow,” he told KMBC. “And the next thing I know, I hear it fall.”
The Kansas City Police Department is investigating the collapse.
