(AP)- Authorities say four people have been found dead in two burning homes in a Laurel, Nebraska. Firefighters and police responded to a 911 call about an explosion resulting in a fire at a residence in Laurel around 3 a.m. on Thursday and located one person deceased inside the home. As that scene was being investigated, Bolduc says that another fire was reported at a house three blocks away and three deceased individuals were found at that location.
Authorities haven’t released the names of the deceased nor explained how or if they were related. Witnesses reported seeing a man driving away from the city of Laurel in a silver car before the bodies were discovered Thursday.
