<p>The disaster took place in a stadium in the city of El Espinal in Tolima state during a traditional event called “corraleja” in which members of the public enter the ring to engage the bulls.</p>
<p>Videos taken during the bullfight show a multi-story section of the stands collapsing as people screamed.</p>
<p>“We have activated the hospital network in Tolima,” governor Jose Ricardo Orozco told local Blu Radio. “Four people have died, as of this moment: Two women, a man and a minor.”</p>
<p>Mayor Juan Carlos Tamayo said 800 spectators were seated in the sections that collapsed.</p>
<p>Late on Sunday, Tolima health secretary Martha Palacios said in a press conference that 322 people had gone to local public and private hospitals after the collapse seeking treatment. Palacio said the minor who had died was an 18-month-old baby.</p>
<p>Besides the four dead, another four people were in intensive care and two others recovering from surgery.</p>
<p>Mr Orozco said he had asked for the traditional “corralejas” to be suspended in Tolima earlier on Sunday but this one was held anyway.</p>

<p>President-elect Gustavo Petro urged local officials to ban such events, noting that it was not the first time an incident like this had taken place.</p>
<p>“I ask mayors not to allow more events involving the death of people or animals,” he said.</p>
<p>Current President Ivan Duque on Twitter announced an investigation of the disaster.</p>
<p>“We lament the terrible tragedy registered in El Espinal, Tolima, during the festivals of San Pedro and San Juan, with the collapse of the stands during a corraleja. We will call for an investigation,” he said.</p>
