I just got this email from my son's leader a few minutes ago. it reads:
Dear Parents and friends:

First of all, everyone in the Rio Grande Council contingent is safe.

By now you have probably heard the news of the fatalities at the Jamboree today from some source or other. JW just called me and this is what they know.

Earlier today, at the Jamboree, a Scoutmaster had a heart attack and died.

In an unrelated event later, 4 Scouts were using metal poles to erect some sort of gateway or exhibit when the poles fell into an electrical line. All 4 Scouts were killed in the accident.

JW wants you all to know that nobody in our Troops, and nobody in any adjacent Troops have been involved in anyway.

Yours in Scouting,
