Police lobbed canisters of tear gas and fired in the air to disperse people gathered near the site of a collapsed 10-story building that left 28 people dead, Iran’s semi-official Fars news agency reported.

The report said people insisted on entering the site in the southwestern city of Abadan on Friday night and the gathering turned into a riot. Police then dispersed people from the area, it said.A video posted online showed a security officer in Abadan yelling “go back” while pointing his weapon directly at a group of people and firing. In other videos, people can be seen and heard chanting “death to dictator" and “Our enemy is here, they lie that it is America.

Thirty-seven people were rescued and three of them were still being treated in a hospital, according to authorities. It was unclear how many more people are buried beneath the rubble. The deadly collapse has raised questions about the safety of similar buildings in the country and underscored an ongoing crisis in Iranian construction projects. The collapse reminded many of the 2017 fire and collapse of the iconic Plasco building in Tehran that killed 26 people.

Increased police presence expected near Scarborough school after man fatally shot by policeThere’s increased police presence in Scarborough's Port Union area today after a man carrying an air rifle was shot dead by officers near an elementary school on Thursday. So all it takes to get shot by police is to walk with a bb gun on the street? WTF. There is no danger to anyone. No need to use lethal force. Stop the fear porn, this is daily in Scarborough, why do you keep tying it to schools? serious lack of judgment.

'Send the police now': Kids called 911 from Texas classroom as police waited\u0027He\u0027s in room 112,\u0027 a girl whispered on the phone at 12:03 p.m., more than 45 minutes before police went in If I were the governor of Texas I'd fire the entire police force in that town, just as I would have fired the entire police force in Rotherham, England. It would cost the state money to replace a dead cop kids zero Those poor kids, being taught drills, taught that these people would come save them if something like this happened. They were let down hard. My heart hurts for the families and school staff.
