just a short time ago, the alarming turn
after a deadly home explosion in
Michigan. Authorities at first
investigating, was this some sort of
accident, potentially a natural gas
explosion, but then just before we came
on tonight saying this was deliberate.
Here's Briana and Ali.
Tonight, police say this massive home
explosion in the middle of the night
outside Grand Rapids, Michigan
was intentional and is now being
investigated as an attempted
murder-suicide. We have determined at
this point this believes to be a
domestic-related situation at the home
and that the fire was intentionally set
what we believe by the husband.
Investigators sifting through piles of
debris for hours piecing together the
eruption allegedly started by a fire and
gas leak from the basement.
The blast so powerful residents of
Plainfield Township confusing the loud
boom for a tornado. Several calls now
reporting an explosion and possible
house on fire. They're saying they can
see flames from a couple miles away.
Just before 4:00 a.m. dozens of calls
pouring into 911. A woman from that home
could be heard crying for help. Her
teenage neighbor and an adult across the
street heroically pulling her from the
rubble. Those men unable to locate the
other victim. There's still a lot that
needs to be done in the investigation
including working with our medical
examiner's office to positively identify
the body that was located in the
building today. Tim Johnson was one of
the men who rushed in to help suffering
serious burns. The fire was pretty
intense and
well
so it took me a few tries to get in
there to get her. David, police say the
woman who was rescued is now in critical
condition. David. Just a horrible turn
in this case, Briana and thank you.
