Police said around 100 people were in the church at the time of the collapse.
At least 10 people are dead and around 60 injured after the roof of a church collapsed in Mexico during Sunday Mass.
Tamaulipas state police said units of the National Guard, the state police and state civil defence office and the Red Cross were involved in the operation. The diocese later posted a list of people who had been injured, including a four-month-old baby, three five-year-olds and two nine-year-olds. Photos published by local media showed what appeared to be a concrete and brick structure, with parts of the roof fallen almost to the ground. Security camera footage from showed the unusual, gabled roof simply collapsed downwards.
