Arkansas first responders were sifting through debris for more possible victims after tornadoes sliced through the state and left at least five people dead and dozens injured
One person was killed and more than 50 people were hospitalized in North Little Rock, Pulaski County spokeswoman Madeline Roberts told the Washington Post.
"Anything that Arkansas needs, they have assured us that those resources will be here and on the ground," she said at a news conference. Belvidere Fire Chief Shawn Schadle said about 260 people were attending the concert at the city's Apollo Theatre, which featured the headline act Morbid Angel as part of the group's "Tour of Terror."
"They dragged someone out from the rubble. And I sat with him and I held his hand and I said everything is going to be OK. I didn't really know much else what to do," Lewellyn said.
