In a tragic incident, Seven college students died and four were injured after a balcony railing collapsed sending them falling from a fourth-floor balcony. The tragedy happened in the university’s financial sciences building, as students attempted to enter a lecture hall for an assembly. Bolivian police general commander Jhonny Aguilera Montecinos said Wednesday the woman seen in the struggle will be questioned as part of the investigation, local outlets reported.

Montecinos also attributed the victims’ deaths to “multiple trauma.”“We regret the tragedy that occurred at the Public University of #ElAlto (UPEA), where there were several deaths and injuries,” Bolivian President Luis Arce wrote on Twitter.“Our deepest condolences to the people of El Alto and to the suffering families. We await the prompt clarification of the facts.”
