Two people have been killed and more remain missing after a large explosion ripped through an apartment building in a Maryland suburb of Washington.

At least 34 people, including three firefighters, have been injured. Residents are reported to have suffered burns from the blaze and fractures from jumping out of windows.

Montgomery County Police Assistant Chief Russ Hamill announced two people were killed in the blast in Silver Spring during a media conference on Thursday morning.

The explosion was also declared a 'mass casualty incident', and added the building is still in 'extremely dangerous condition'.

I saw the post about the DNC but someone said that was a parody / fake news website.

No telling these days.

Thanks! I did not think it true, but shared it just in case. If nothing else it focuses attention to the whole Clinton/association/death thing.
