3 killed in stampede in Brazil
At least three people were killed and dozens more wounded on Saturday when fans surged to get the autograph of a Mexican band in a shopping mall in Brazil's largest city of Sao Paulo.

About 5,000 fans had been gathering outside the Fiesta mall in southern Sao Paulo since Friday night for an autograph session by the Mexican teen group RBD, but organizers only prepared for 100 autograph opportunities, local media said.

A barrier collapsed as fans surged toward a van in which they believed the band was arriving.

Police identified the dead as a 47-year-old woman and two girls aged 15 and 16. Most of the other casualties were teenagers, a San Paulo state health department official said.

The RBD starred in the Mexican soap opera Rebelde, which helped make the band one of the most popular groups in Latin America and Spanish-speaking communities in the United States.
