SILVER SPRING, Md. – Police in Maryland say a seventh body has been found in the debris of an explosion and fire in an apartment complex.
Montgomery County Police said in a news release that the body was found Tuesday in one of the buildings.
The explosion on Aug. 10 in Silver Spring sent debris hundreds of feet, and people more than a mile away reported the blast was strong enough to shake their homes. More than 30 people were injured, including three firefighters.
