ROME - The Italian news agency ANSA says a luxury cruise ship with 4,200 people aboard has run aground off the Tuscan coast and that at least 6 people have died.
The report early Saturday said the Costa Concordia ran aground a few hundred meters (yards) near the tiny Tuscan island of Giglio and that the passengers were evacuated.
It quoted unidentified rescuers as saying six people were dead. ANSA quoted journalists who happened to be passengers aboard as telling ANSA that the evacuees were being sheltered in schools, hotels and a church on the vacation island.
