HARARE (Reuters) – Eleven people were killed and dozens injured in a stampede at a stadium in Zimbabwe, as thousands of people at a church service tried to leave through the same exit, police said on Friday.
The incident apparently occurred shortly after the end of the service, which was attended by 30,000 people. The Herald Zimbabwe reported that police allegedly closed a number of gates, forcing the congregation to use a single exit.
