Two others were hospitalized before being released.

Locals told the Fox affiliate KSHB-TV that they helped pull people out of the rubble.
Authorities had received a report that the building had been “slowly tilting” just days before the horror unfolded.
A Family Dollar representative said they had been left deeply saddened at what happened.
“Our hearts and thoughts are with those impacted. We are conducting wellness checks with our employees and offering them resources and assistance,” they told People.
The spokesperson confirmed that an internal probe has since been launched.
