London apartment building fire death toll rises to 12
At least 12 people are confirmed dead in a massive fire that ripped through a London tower block on Wednesday, police say.
“I do anticipate that the number of fatalities will sadly increase beyond those 12,” says the Metropolitan Police’s Stuart Cundy in a televised address.
Dozens of residents caught up in the blaze at Grenfell Tower, west London, are hospitalized. An estimated 20 are in critical condition.
