Explosion at Madrid building leaves 2 dead, 18 injured

MADRID (AP) — City officials in Madrid say an explosion ripped through a four-story residential building in the center of the Spanish capital, killing two people and injuring at least 18 others. Video released by the city showed paramedics attending to the injured at the scene Friday in the upmarket neighborhood of Salamanca. Police and firefighters cordoned off streets that were cluttered with glass and debris. Emergency workers then found the bodies of two people in their 20s. Four of the injured were taken to a hospital, including one person in serious condition. Madrid’s mayor told broadcaster Telemadrid that crews have combed the building to check for anyone trapped inside.
