| Explosion during ‘domestic’ hostage situation in Connecticut injures 6 officers | |
| (35 minutes later) | |
| At least six officers have been injured after a sudden explosion rocked a house in Connecticut, where police and SWAT officers were negotiating with a man who had taken his wife and family hostage. | |
| Up to six police officers were reportedly injured in an explosion in North Haven, Connecticut, where a man took his family hostage after police responded to an apparent domestic dispute call. | |
| “This started late this afternoon with what was apparently a very violent domestic call,” North Haven First Selectman Michael Freda told Fox 61. The officers “were trying to coax him...out of the house and really try to calm the situation down. Then things took a turn for the worse with an explosion.” | |
| The officers were rushed to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries at around 8:30pm. | |
| Police are still working at the scene as, despite the explosion, the suspect remains barricaded inside his home, local media report. | |
| The roads surrounding the residence remain closed off. Meanwhile, firefighters rushed to the scene to battle the blaze as plumes of thick black smoke covered the neighborhood after the blast. | |
