UPDATE: Death toll rises to 12 people in a stampede at an El Salvador stadium where soccer fans had gathered to watch a local tournament, police say
Play was suspended about 16 minutes into the match, when fans in the stands waving frantically began getting the attention of those on the field and carrying the injured out of a tunnel and down to the pitch.
Authorities said initial reports pointed to a crush of fans who tried to enter Cuscatlan Stadium in the Central American country's capital San Salvador to watch a match between teams Alianza and FAS on Saturday. "Preliminarily, we have a negative result of 12 victims, nine who are here in the stadium and three more that we have been informed are in different hospital centres," National Civil Police director Mauricio Arriaza told reporters.
Interior Minister Juan Carlos Bidegain said the civil protection service's first responders were on the scene.
