2 dead, 7 missing after explosion at Pennsylvania chocolate factory
The explosion is believed to have been caused by a gas leak, but officials are still investigating the cause.
No one was evacuated as a result of the explosion, however, West Reading's mayor asked that anyone within a one-block radius stay away from the area. "It's pretty leveled, unfortunately there's not too much to be able to salvage from it," said Mayor Samantha Kaag. "In the front, with the church and the apartments, the explosion was so big that it moved that building four feet forward."There is no word yet on the condition of those hospitalized. Officials have also not released the victims' names.
