Ten people were killed and at least a dozen trapped after an auditorium collapsed Monday at a resort in the southern South Korean city of Gyeongju. As many as 450 students were believed to have been attending a concert in the building when the roof caved in. Police feared the toll could rise, with around 400 rescuers on the scene searching for more students trapped inside the collapsed structure.

The collapse appeared to have been caused by heavy snow which piled up on the roof of the auditorium.
