October 4, a building housing Mchenry's Auto Supply collapsed in the San Fransico Bay Area killing two people and injuring six.
According to Jennifer Vu, a public information officer from the Hayward Fire Department, 3 out of 6 injured were seriously hurt and were hospitalized after the events of the earthquake.
"Names of the dead are being withheld pending notifications of families,"Vu said.
She later added that no other serious injuries were reported.
Hayward fire fighters stabilized the building and conducted a search in which they found a gas leak in which they capped the line after the collapse.
"Twenty-one fire personnel, 12 police and five American Red Cross workers responded to the building collapse, with some arriving within four minutes of the quake," Vu said.

The earthquake struck at 8:12 a.m. when Mike Beamer a resident in the apartment across the street felt rolling for 30 seconds and then a large jolt.

“I was eating my breakfast when the room started rolling. I dove under the table just as I heard an explosion outside and a chunk of cement flew through my kitchen window. That’s when the screaming start across the street,”Beamer said. 
The collapse was due to a 6.4 (on the richter's scale) earthquake that occurred along the Hayward fault under the hills. According to Penny Gertz, a scientist from the U.S. Geological Survey in Menlo Park the earthquake was a big one.
"People as far south as Los Angeles and as far north as Redding felt the quake," Gertz said.
McHenry's Auto Supply was located at 2342 Plum St. and has not responded into reopening.
