Explosion destroys homes in Ind.; 2 dead

A massive explosion sparked a huge fire and killed two people in an Indianapolis neighborhood, authorities said Sunday. The powerful nighttime blast shattered windows, crumpled walls and could be felt at least three miles away. Officials say as many as 31 homes were damaged so badly they may need to be demolished. Seven people were taken to a hospital with injuries after the explosion and fire, Deputy Fire Chief Kenny Bacon said. Bacon also told reporters Sunday investigators haven’t ruled out any possible causes of the late-night blast that was heard miles away.
