Authorities said 11 people are dead after a church roof collapsed on parishioners who were gathered together for a child's baptism and communion on Sunday.
Monica Segura, who was standing near the church when its roof fell Sunday, said the collapse "happened in a matter of seconds" when a "beam fell and immediately the roof fell."
"I was trapped," Segura said. "I had my other (2-year-old) baby in my arms. Someone helped me get the baby out and I was able to get out a window and then we returned to look for my other girl. She was trapped in the rubble." She said her 1-year-old nephew suffered a broken arm.
