An explosion in Baltimore, Maryland has killed at least one person and left multiple others trapped, emergency officials said Monday.
THE CAUSE REMAINS UNDER INVESTIGATION
Calling the explosion “a major 3 alarm incident,” Baltimore Firefighters Union said on Twitter that several houses blew up and four people have been rescued. All of them are in critical condition.
Some of victims who were trapped earlier in the day were children, the Baltimore Firefighters IAFF Local 734 said on Twitter. Neighbors responding to the blast dug through rubble and called out for victims. One neighbor told the Baltimore Sun he could hear shouts from trapped children.
At least one person is still trapped, the union said.
