Two Dead in Paris Apartment Explosion

Some still trapped.

At least two people, including a child and an elderly woman, are dead after an explosion leveled a Paris-area apartment Sunday morning. Six others are trapped under the rubble in Rosny-sous-Bois, a northeastern suburb of Paris. Eleven people were wounded in the collapse of the four-story building, with four of them sustaining serious injuries. "We could still find living victims in the hours to come," said fire department spokesman Gabriel Plus. The explosion was “most probably” the result of a gas leak, said Philippe Galli, Seine-Saint-Denis prefect.
