GRAPHIC: Twelve Killed, El Salvador Soccer Game Crush

At approximately 2130 EST on 20MAY23, reports began to emerge of an emergency situation at Cuscatlan Stadium in San Salvador, El Salvador. By 2145 the game was cancelled after at least three deaths were confirmed. It appears that spectators were pushing up against the fence on midfield and further back into the stadium tunnels. The majority of deaths seem to have occurred in those tunnels where stadium officials locked several gates.
