Four Dead- 2 Missing in Minneapolis MN Building Fire



F
our have died- two of those are children- and 2 more people are unaccounted for after a fire destroyed a popular tavern with apartments above it in south Minneapolis Friday morning.



The fire was reported around 6 a.m.- according to WCCO-TV and- as you can attest by the video still pictures- the building was already heavily-involved in fire when the first fire crews arrived.

Even with the heavy fire conditions- firefighters managed to rescue one person- who later died at a Metro Minneapolis-St. Paul hospital.

Among the two still missing in the building that houses McMahon's Irish Pub in the 3000 block of Lake Street is a child.

The roof- walls and the 2nd-floor collapsed inside the burned building- making any search for the 2 missing people dangerous..

Eight uninjured adults and 5 children were displaced by the fire.
