At least 4 dead, 19 hurt after building collapses in Brooklyn

A building at 1321 Flatbush Avenue in Brooklyn collapsed on Wednesday, leaving at least four people dead and 19 hurt, officials said. Earlier CBS New York headlines had put the toll at at least two dead and 17 injured, so the figures rose as the day went on.

The NYPD said the building collapsed completely and that the side of an adjacent building was torn off in the process.

Video from the scene shows crews pulling a survivor from the rubble. CBS New York also reported that a pregnant woman was rescued from the debris.

The outlet said it was learning more about a construction project that was happening next to the building that collapsed. The source does not say what caused the collapse.

Residents of the Brooklyn community were described as stunned and shaken, and CBS New York's coverage called the collapse "catastrophic."

The number of casualties changed during the response, and the figures may be updated as officials release more information.
