bigpoppanils Posted February 17 Report Share Posted February 17 14 Die in Rush to Exit Chicago Night Club February 17, 2003 08:51 AM EST CHICAGO - A disturbance at a crowded Chicago night club early Monday sent people rushing for the exits in a scramble that left at least 14 dead, police said. Several were injured in the melee, including some critically. "Everybody smashed; people crying, couldn't breathe," said clubgoer Reggie Clark. "Two ladies next to me died. A guy under me passed out." There were more than 1,500 people in the two-story Epitome Night Club when someone released pepper spray or Mace into the air some time after 2 a.m., Fire Commander Will Knight said. "It appears a disturbance from within led to a mass chaos where people headed for the door. Most of the fatalities appear to have been crushed or had injuries due to suffocation," said police Officer Ozzie Rodriguez. Rodriguez said 14 people were killed. Medical teams from local hospitals responded to the site, along with several ambulances and paramedics. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Copyright 2002 Associated Press.
