No DePaul students were reported among the victims of a porch collapse that killed 13 young people and injured 57 others during an early morning party at an apartment building in the Lincoln Park neighborhood June 29, according to information released by Chicago authorities.
Authorities say the collapse happened about 12:30 a.m. at 713 W. Wrightwood Ave. The collapse involved a third-story porch, which caved into a second-story porch, ultimately dropping guests to the ground.
