An explosion at a home in Pennsylvania Wednesday night killed four people and left two others injured, according to authorities.

The blast occurred in the borough of Pottstown, approximately 40 miles north of Philadelphia. Two other people may be unaccounted for, police said. Three homes were destroyed in the explosion, according to a report, and county officials said they believe a gas leak may have caused the explosion. The identities of those who died have not been released by authorities.“I was in my room chilling. I was upstairs, and the next thing you know, I just heard a big boom like a bomb went off or something.
