Fox has reported that the fire department has found 1 female killed by the explosion at this time.  Speculation is a faulty gas line caused the explosion but again, that is speculation and is not confirmed at this time, though the Fire Department on scene has stated that it is their belief that it was a gas line.

We will continue to follow this breaking story and will update as information has been released to the public.  We pray for those families involved and hope those in critical condition will recover.
