The 13-year-olds climbed onto the roof in Remshalden, northeast of Stuttgart, late on Saturday evening and probably had an accident while playing. The skylight of the hall collapsed when the teenagers entered it, the police said.
Security gaps in the building?
A police spokesman said on Sunday that it must now be checked whether the building may have security gaps. A day after the serious accident, there was no further information about the 13-year-old’s health. “The investigation is ongoing,” an official said simply. According to the information, the children could not initially be interviewed.
Neighbor called emergency services
As the spokesman said, one of the injured children called for help in the neighborhood after the accident. A neighbor who lived next to the gym then called the emergency services. It was initially unclear how the teenagers got onto the roof.
Three rescue helicopters, seven fire engines and 13 rescue service vehicles were involved in the operation at dusk. The head of the rescue service of the German Red Cross in the Rems-Murr district, Marco Flittner, said on the spot that the children had fallen into the interior of the sports hall.
