A roof collapse at a tutoring center under construction in Lahore, Pakistan, has killed at least 14 schoolchildren. Police and rescue officials report that the incident occurred on Tuesday. Eight other children are injured and receiving treatment at a hospital. Senior police official Faisal Kamran says the owner of the tutoring center and another person have been arrested. Rescuers continue to clear the rubble, fearing more children could be trapped. The center was in an aging building, and the roof of its under-construction second floor collapsed due to poor-quality construction. Building collapses are common in Pakistan due to poorly enforced construction standards.
