Partial Collapse of Stands at Tustin/Trabuco Hills Game

I usually triple task in the evenings. I've got the TV on, the laptop in my lap, and an earphone in my right ear where I'm listening to Orange County Fire dispatches (I've been a sucker for emergency radio broadcasts since I was a teen).

I don't usually post what I'm hearing, but this incident sounded pretty interesting, so I'll reprint the Tweets here:
Listening to OC Fire handling partial collapse of stands at Tustin/Trabuco Hills playoff game. Two victims so far. Unknown how bad.

Collapse at Tustin/Trabuco Hills game on Trabuco side. Looks like only two victims. Asking for one ambulance Code 3.

Batallion Chief reporting that crowd was getting a little rowdy and the railing at the front of the bleachers collapsed. Two minor injuries

OCFA was on scene for the game when the incident occurred. Minor knee injury being transported. Everybody else apparently okay. Whew.
I could hear the crowd in the background as the captain on the engine company was radioing in the incident. Pretty tense there for a minute or two. Glad everybody seems to be okay. My wife was concerned because she had a friend at that game.

UPDATE: OCRegister adds this:
Two rows of bleachers on the visitors side of the stadium at Tustin High collapsed tonight after students rushed to them for a chance to be on television.

Trabuco Hills students said that they were called over by a cameraman, and a stretch of the bleachers collapsed. One female Trabuco Hills student was seen being treated by medical personnel.
