Governor J.B. Pritzker visited the Apollo Theatre in Belvidere this morning to survey damage caused by the Friday tornado that killed one man and injured over 40 adults during a metal concert.
Arriving in Belvidere, Pritzker gave a short news conference. He confirmed that one individual had died, 48 others were treated in hospitals and five remained in critical condition following the collapse.
Pritzker also praised the “quick work” of residents and first responders who helped pull people out of the rubble after the tornado touched down Friday evening. He said their actions saved lives.
