Explosion at California medical facility kills one, injures three others

Explosion in medical building in Aliso Viejo appears intentional


A deadly explosion in an Orange County, Calif.,  building that killed one woman and injured three others appears to be intentional and is being investigated as a criminal act, according to an article on the CNN website.

The explosion rocked a medical building in Aliso Viejo Tuesday. It blew out walls and windows, heavily damaging the first floor corner of the two-story building.

The investigation is still in its early stage and authorities are still processing the inside of the building.
