The suspect, who had been firing a flare gun from his home earlier in the day, remained barricaded inside and it is unclear if he survived the explosion. Three officers sustained minor injuries, but no one was hospitalized. The cause of the explosion is under investigation, and the FBI is assisting local police. Several nearby houses were evacuated, and the fire department is working to control the blaze.
