Officials said two people were injured in the explosion, which witnesses said they felt around 8 p.m. Tuesday night."So when I got outside and I looked around my car, that's when I noticed the dynamite sticks and I said, 'Oh my God, that was an explosion' and as I came up the driveway, then I found the second one," O'Dell said.
Officials said the injured man and woman were taken to Christ Hospital for treatment, but the severity of their injuries is still unknown.Police also said the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms is responding to the apartment complex to investigate. Authorities have not released details on the circumstances leading up to the blast and if it was accidental or intentional.
