Authorities said eight people have been rescued so far after an apartment building collapsed Sunday in Iowa.

The collapse happened in the downtown district of Davenport. According to officials, at least a dozen other residents made it out on their own.

So far, authorities are only confirming minor injuries, but said they're still going through the rubble as there are some people unaccounted for. When asked if there were any fatalities, leaders refused to answer or speculate.

Authorities said they found a gas leak after the collapse, and water also had leaked throughout the floors of the structure.

When something like this happens here, and tragedy strikes, our responders immediately do their work and their job and I can’t thank them enough,” Davenport Mayor Mike Matson said.
The cause of the collapse is under investigation.
