Deaths, Honduras | featured news

At least 382 people died in the fire in central Honduras and there are new questions about exactly what happened that night in the overcrowded prison... Outrage over the fire increased after the president of the country's supreme court admitted that only 40% of the inmates in the prison had been convicted. The majority were awaiting trial or waiting for charges to be filed against them.

A forensic official in Honduras says a fire that swept through a prison has killed at least 272 inmates.

Fourteen people were shot and killed at a soccer field in northern Honduras, a police spokesman said Saturday.

The death toll from Tropical Storm Agatha is growing, with 123 reported killed in Guatemala, 14 in Honduras and nine in El Salvador.
