JUST IN: A Pennsylvania chocolate factory explosion has left seven people dead. The explosion happened at R.M. Palmer in West Reading, PA.

She was found in the basement sometime between 2 a.m. and 3 a.m.The woman was taken to the hospital after spending approximately eight hours in the rubble. There is no word yet on her current condition or her identity.
"I didn't see flames at first, just a bunch of shingles and materials falling from the sky. I knew it was an explosion," said Witmoyer's son, Garry Witmoyer Jr. "The silver lining in all this is someone was found alive, someone was found alive that was in rubble, not knowing whether they were going to live or die, and fortunately we found that person and they've got a second chance, and hopefully fingers crossed we're going to find more," he said."Everyone at RM Palmer is devastated by the tragic events at one of our West Reading facilities and we are focused on supporting our employees and their families.
