LAKEWOOD, Colo. (CBS4) - The American Red Cross is helping families in Lakewood who were displaced by a roof collapse at an apartment building.
The collapse happened on Sunday at the building near 9th and Wadsworth Boulevard.
Residents say they heard cracking noises after workers put shingles on the roof.
Everyone was evacuated before the roof caved in.

The problem has affected approximately 80 people.
