Blast destroys 2 Indianapolis homes; others on fire; 2 killed INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 11 (UPI) -- Two people are dead after an explosion ripped through an Indianapolis neighborhood, leveling two homes and damaging at least a dozen more, authorities said. The fire department said the cause of the blast, which was reported just after 11 p.m. Saturday, had yet to be determined, WISH-TV, Indianapolis, reported. Rescue crews cut electricity and gas supplies to the area to prevent subsequent explosions or fires, the Indianapolis Star said. Residents were evacuated and trudged through fields to an emergency shelter in a school. One resident of the Richmond Hill neighborhood, Kurt McDonald, told WISH-TV he went outside and saw one house "just gone."
