Three people were killed by a "catastrophic" tornado that ripped across the US state of Arkansas on Friday, while severe storms further north caused the roof of an Illinois theater to collapse, leaving one person dead and 28 others injured, according to local police.

The Arkansas tornado whipped across the state in the afternoon, causing what Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders described as "widespread damage." 

Sanders further stated that two people were killed in the town of Wynne in the eastern part of Arkansas, while an official in Pulaski County, which surrounds the capital Little Rock, affirmed a fatality there.

"Significant damage has occurred in Central Arkansas," Sanders tweeted. 

Widespread damage in Wynne. I’ve been in touch with local officials for updates and to direct state resources. Please follow the direction of local authorities.

Praying for the safety of all Arkansans who are in the path of these storms.

Frank Scott Jr., the mayor of Little Rock, stated that "almost 30 individuals have been brought to our local hospitals."
