    A police spokesman said employees of the shop had received advance warning that the roof was falling down and managed to escape.

    The roof of a Netto supermarket in the town of Toegling am Inn, Bavaria state, fell in at around 11:00 a.m. local time (1000 GMT), German news agency DPA quoted police as saying. Rescue teams reached the spot.

    Heavy snow, which had been falling across Bavaria overnight, was to blame for the collapse.

    An ice rink roof caved in last month in Bad Reichenhall, Bavaria, killing 15 people. Enditem
