SPRINGFIELD, Ore. — Heavy, wet snow caused part of a roof in a Springfield high school gym to collapse on Friday.
No one was hurt when the roof came crashing down onto the court inside Thurston High School's auxiliary gym.
The roof collapse came two days after a support beam collapsed on Wednesday. Staff members heard a cracking noise before the beam collapsed.
The gym was supposed to host state basketball tournaments this weekend. Those were moved to Springfield High School.
The Springfield School District declared an emergency so they could get the roof fixed as soon as possible, KGW's Morgan Romero reported.
The gym likely won't be open again until the fall. A number of facilities are in the building including a weight room and girls' locker room.
