ST. LOUIS — Firefighters were on the scene of a building collapse in St. Louis’ Wells-Goodfellow neighborhood Friday morning.

The St. Louis Fire Department said a two-story brick commercial building collapsed in the 5900 block of Dr Martin Luther King Drive.

The business, Dorothy's TV Furniture & Appliance, was open and occupied when the building collapsed. Fire officials said there were at least three employees inside when the second floor collapsed.

All occupants were accounted for outside of the building and no injuries were reported.
