A tent blew over Saturday afternoon at Kendrick Family Ball Park in Morgantown, injuring multiple people and triggering what 911 officials described as a “mass casualty event.”
Several of those hurt were transported to the hospital, according to 911 officials. The exact number of victims – and the severity of their injuries — had not been publicly confirmed as of Saturday evening, June 7, 2026.
The designation “mass casualty event” is a formal emergency management classification, typically used when the number of injured patients strains or threatens to strain local medical resources. Its use here signals the response was substantial.
Kendrick Family Ball Park is a recreational sports complex in Morgantown. Whether the incident occurred during a scheduled game or another event at the park wasn’t immediately clear. No information had been released on what caused the tent to come down.
The Morgantown area 911 center hadn’t provided additional details on the number of units dispatched or which hospital or hospitals received patients.
