Building collapse in Naples kills 2 siblings and buries mother and another woman

ROME (AP) — A two-story building has collapsed in the southern Italian province of Naples, killing two young siblings and and burying their mother and another woman in the rubble. Firefighters say a gas explosion likely caused the collapse on Sunday. Rescuers in the town of Saviano recovered the bodies of a 6-year-old boy and a 4-year-old girl. Their 2-year-old brother was found alive and the father was hospitalized in Naples in serious condition. Firefighers’ spokesman Luca Cari said that rescuers had to be “very careful and move slowly, to avoid new collapses” as they search for the two women.
