The roof of a Brazilian church caved in shortly after a religious service on Sunday, killing seven people and injuring dozens more.
About 60 people were inside when the roof fell to the floor, Reborn in Christ church spokeswoman Marli Goncalves told The Associated Press. Sao Paulo state Gov. Jose Serra, who visited the site, said the toll was seven dead and 57 people injured. He did not elaborate on their condition.
The cause of the collapse was not immediately clear, and authorities were investigating. Goncalves said the building was up to code.
