Roof collapses at St. Patrick's Day party near University of Pittsburgh, dozens injured
Dozens of people were injured during a St. Patrick’s Day celebration near the University of Pittsburgh on Friday, after a roof holding people collapsed on a crowd below.
Just before 5:30 p.m., Pittsburgh police officers, firefighters and EMS responded to the 300 block of Semple Street in Central Oakland for reports of a porch collapse with injuries, according to a statement from the city.
Emergency crews found a collapsed porch in the rear of a residence with a large crowd gathered.

Pittsburgh EMS took 16 people to the hospital for treatment; 13 were transported in stable condition and three were transported in serious but stable condition, according to the statement.
The majority of the transports were for minor arm and leg injuries and concussions, officials noted. One person is believed to have suffered a leg fracture and at least a dozen people were treated on-scene for minor abrasions.

The city told Fox News Digital it does not have “confirmed ages” of those taken to the hospital, only noting their student status was not recorded by EMS at the time of transport.

The federal government has activated the New Hampshire National Guard’s 157th Air Refueling Wing in connection with the war with Iran.
“I’ve had a briefing myself, a classified briefing, but it’s really important on the messaging on this that we really coordinate with the Pentagon,” Gov. Kelly Ayotte told reporters during a press briefing following Wednesday’s Executive Council meeting.
Ayotte said she was unable to share additional details about the nature of the New Hampshire National Guard’s activity related to the conflict, including how many guard members have been activated or what role they are playing.
“We’re going to respect what messaging comes out of the Pentagon just to make sure that our men and women in uniform are fully protected and that we aren’t providing any information that could be used in a way that would be harmful to them,” Ayotte said.
In a statement Thursday, Ayotte said the unit had been deployed in late February to the U.S. Central Command area of responsibility in support of the operation.
Earlier this week, Pentagon officials confirmed that members of the Vermont National Guard were involved in attacks against Iran over the weekend, though our news partners at Vermont Public were not able to confirm additional details on the nature of the operation.
During the briefing with local reporters, Ayotte also stressed her support for servicemembers and those close to them.
“I have such respect for our men and women in uniform,” Ayotte said. “As you know, I come from a military family, and they have our full support, and we appreciate them and their families, and obviously anyone who is serving right now, and my thoughts and prayers go out to those who have lost someone that they love.”
