Travis Mullins, the emergency management director for the city of Atoka, told KXII that the stairwell from the second to the third story in the building collapsed. They crashed onto the stairs between the first and second floor — trapping people in the building.

While my team and I were in Atoka, OK yesterday checking out an old historical building, a staircase collapsed. Thankfully, no one was seriously injured. We were safely evacuated from the building thanks to the quick response from the Atoka fire and police departments.

«It opened our eyes to see exactly just how unsturdy they were and when they did collapse, we [saw] what little was holding them up,» Mullins said in an interview with the local broadcaster.
