Colombia Stadium Collapse Kills 4

by VOA News

   Colombian officials said four people died and more than 300 were
   injured in Sunday's collapse of a grandstand at a bullfight in the city
   of El Espinal.

   President Ivan Duque said he would order an investigation and expressed
   solidarity with the families of the victims.

   The collapse happened during a traditional event in which members of
   the public enter the ring to engage the bulls.

   Several officials, including president-elect Gustavo Petro, called for
   such events to be banned.

   Some information for this report came from The Associated Press, Agence
   France-Presse and Reuters.
