MARION, NY (AP) -- Authorities say no one has been injured after the roof on a western New York church's gymnasium collapsed just minutes after about two dozen children left the building.

Emergency crews were called to the Second Reform Church in Wayne County Monday night after part of the gym's roof caved in, apparently from the weight of wet snow.

Firefighters tell Rochester media outlets that when the roof gave way, no one was inside the gym, located behind the church in the rural town of Marion, 20 miles east of Rochester.
