UPDATE: Eight people have died and at least 17 have been injured, including three firefighters and seven children, after a three-story building collapsed into a construction site in Flatbush, Brooklyn.
Officials say others may still be missing.
The building at 1321 Flatbush Ave, with a store at street level and apartments above, fell into the excavation site next door at 2625 Bedford Ave just after 4 PM Wednesday.
Demolition and construction had been going on next door for months and city records show a summons was issued in April, and a stop-work order was allegedly violated and later resolved.
At least eight households were displaced.
