(UPI) Heavy snow collapsed a quarter of the roof of a discount department store a roof twice cleared of snow this winter but about 60 shoppers and employees miraculously escaped injury. The roof collapse Thursday night followed noise that warned the store's occupants to flee, officials said.

The fact it was a light shopping night also helped prevent casualties, they said. "We heard an initial crash and it sounded like somebody throwing cartons around in a storage room above the shoe department," said a shopper, Laura Wagrowski, who carried her 3-year-old son to safety and then pulled two other children out of the area. "For awhile it seemed I couldn't out-run it," Mrs. Wagrowski said. "It was as if this mountain of snow and steel was chasing me." "For about a minute we heard a creaking noise," said Susan Stark, an employee who was at the service desk.
