I've seen reports vary from 4 people injured all the way up to 50 people injured... and even witnesses saying fatalities. These are all REPORTS and have NOT been confirmed by police officials. As tragic as this event is, it's important to let emergency responders do their job.

Again, these are early reports. Take the with a grain of salt.
