Roof collapses at Bashas' store near 75th Avenue, Thunderbird Road in Peoria

Part of a roof at a Bashas' store on 75th Avenue and Thunderbird Road collapsed on Thursday morning, according to the Peoria Fire-Medical Department. 

Authorities say the cause is still under investigation but could be related to overnight rainfall. The store will remain closed for the next several hours for reparations, the fire department said. 

According to Capt. David Arreguin with the Peoria Fire-Medical Department, Glendale and Phoenix firefighters also responded to the location after receiving reports of a gas leak.

No one was injured during the incident and all customers and employees were evacuated, Arreguin said. 

The gas was shut off and Glendale and Phoenix police were investigating, Arreguin said.
