ROME (AP) — Officials in Italy say a two-story building has collapsed in the southern province of Naples, killing two young siblings and their mother, while burying the children’s grandmother under the rubble. Firefighters said on their official Telegram channel that a gas explosion likely caused the collapse on Sunday. Rescuers in the town of Saviano recovered first the bodies of a 6-year-old boy and a 4-year-old girl and a few hours later located the body of another victim, identified as their mother, authorities said. Searches are still underway to find the grandmother of the children, who is believed to be buried under the rubble.
