At a press update near the bridge, officials said two people had been rescued, but others are believed to still be in the water. The number of those missing fluctuated between seven and 20.
“This is a dire emergency,” Baltimore Fire Department director of communications Kevin Cartwright told the Associated Press. “Our focus right now is trying to rescue and recover these people.” He called the collapse a “developing mass casualty event.”
No redirect for me. NPR is a pretty reputable site but I am running ad block things also. There is a full screen pop up for newsletter signup but it is easily dismissed with the X in the corner.

My mistake!
