US: 3 Dead After Gas Blast Causes Fire in Dallas Residential Building

In the US, three people were killed in an explosion that engulfed a Dallas apartment building in a massive and deadly blaze. Dallas Fire-Rescue spokesperson Jason Evans announced the fatalities at a news conference. Authorities would not provide an immediate number of how many missing people they were looking for hours after dozens of firefighters had brought the flames under control. It was unclear how many residents lived in the two-storey building in the Oak Cliff neighborhood of Dallas.
