What happened

A roof collapse at a private tutoring center under construction in Lahore, Pakistan, killed at least 14 schoolchildren on Tuesday, police and rescue officials said. The collapse happened in the Kahna suburb, where young children, some under age 10 and others reported to be between five and 13, were pulled from the rubble along with a 30-year-old female teacher. Eight other children were injured and taken to a hospital, while authorities arrested the center’s owner and another person. Officials opened an investigation into possible negligence as rescuers and police examined how the after-school facility’s roof gave way.
