At least four people were killed Wednesday in an earthquake measuring 5.2 degrees in south-eastern Spain, dpa cited officials as saying. Some television reports put the number of fatalities at up to seven. The quake had its epicentre near Lorca in Murcia region. It followed an initial one of 4.5 degrees which only caused material damage. The second quake caused several buildings and a church tower to collapse in Lorca, where the fatalities were reported. "The streets are full of people, we don't know where to go and many people are in shock," a witness said. An elderly people's home and the city hall were evacuated. Lorca, with 100,000 residents, suffered a quake of 4.7 degrees in 2005, when nearly 1,000 homes were damaged.
