Latvia store collapse: Deaths rise as rescue continues
At least 26 people have died and more are feared missing after the roof of a supermarket in the Latvian capital Riga collapsed.
Three of those killed were emergency workers who were helping people trapped when more of the roof came down.
The cause of the collapse is unclear although reports say a garden was being constructed on the roof at the time.
The supermarket, which opened in 2011, is part of the Maxima retail chain.
"The police have started the investigation already," said Prime Minister Valdis Dombrovskis after visiting the scene.
"The criminal process has started about violating building standards."
