It happened around 10:30 a.m. near the corner of East 10th Street and South Phillips Avenue.



Part of the Eastwold Smoke Shop building, which formerly housed the Copper Lounge, fell down into the street and parking lot.



Sioux Falls Fire Rescue responded quickly to look for anyone who might be trapped. Chief Jim Sideras says two people were inside. Crews have made contact with one of the people; she happened to be talking with her mom at the time.



Workers will now try to stabilize the building and get to the people who are inside.
