There may still be people inside the building. Fruetel said not everyone has been accounted for. Most of the injuries are from burns and "trauma of people that came out through the windows," said Robert Ball, a front man for Hennepin County Emergency Medical Services. Officials don't know whether people jumped out, fell or were pushed out by the kaboom. The three-story building was destroyed, with the roof and the second and third floors collapsing, Fruetel said. The first floor contained a business; above it were 10 residential units, nine of which "would have been occupied at the time," he said. Authorities did not know immediately how many people live in those units. A mosque is located near the building. It was not immediately known whether it suffered damage. | |
