 An Indiana high-school girls' basketball game ended in tragedy after a referee collapsed on court.  On the night of December 12th, the girls' basketball team at Monrovia High School was playing Speedway High School. With only 6 minutes left in the second quarter, an emergency halted the game, and fans were evacuated from the gymnasium.  Sadly, a long-time referee, Jeff Tamarri, had collapsed while officiating the game. A defibrillator was reportedly used within a minute of his collapse, and EMTs arrived just moments later. Sadly, despite everyone's best efforts, Jeff was pronounced deceased on scene by EMTs. Monrovia High School said they will have counselors available for students who may be affected by Tamarri's sudden passing. Our thoughts are with the family of Jeff Tamarri as well as the community as a whole.

 Five trapped as building collapses in Osun


Five persons were reportedly trapped in the rubble of an uncompleted building that collapsed in Osogbo, the capital of Osun State.


The tragedy occurred around 8 a.m. on Sunday, throwing residents of the Sabo community into a state of shock as they thronged to the scene to participate in the rescue operation.


An eyewitness, Sani Isyaku, told Vanguard that emergency response officials were joined by residents in the effort to rescue those trapped in the building. He added that some individuals were taken out and rushed in an ambulance to the hospital, while others remained trapped in the debris.


Confirming the incident, the Spokesperson of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, Osun Command, Kehinde Adeleke, said five persons were trapped in the collapsed building.


“Two persons have been rescued while three are still trapped within the building. The team requires the service of a crane to clear the rubble before any further action can be taken.


“While we await the crane, people are doing all they can within their physical capacity to break the decking and connected rods,” she said.
