Among the causalities were individuals ranging from a 5-year-old child to adults in their 40s. Eyewitnesses mentions a loud blast, followed by fire shooting several feet into the air. Thankfully, nearby patrol units responded within minutes after a 911 call, holding the fire before it could spread further or cause even more harm.
