A body was discovered in debris at a Gaithersburg, Maryland, apartment complex one day after an explosion injured 12 people, officials said.
Montgomery County Police Chief Marcus Jones said Thursday evening they are launching a criminal investigation into the blast.
Fire officials said they were in the middle of excavating the building Thursday morning when a K-9 unit alerted them to a pile in front of building. The body, which has not yet been identified, was taken to the medical examiner's office in Baltimore, Jones said. At least 12 people, including four children, were injured. Two of the adults injured were in critical condition, Goldstein said Wednesday.
