QUINCY, MASS. (WHDH) - Police were called to a popular liquor store in Quincy Monday night after the building’s facade collapsed to the ground.
Officers responding to Atlas Liquors on Adams Street for a report of a building collapse about 5:30 p.m. found a massive sign that had become detached from the roof.
“I heard a loud snapping noise, loud enough to get my attention, and I looked up the whole thing crumbled to the ground,” said Jonathan Cahill.
The Marine veterans says he rushed across the street, fearing people were trapped.
“I started to walk over and a police officer told everyone to back away because they did not know if anyone was under,” Cahill said.
Fire officials say no one was hurt, and it was an employee who noticed the overhang pulling down.
