The force of the explosion shattered windows in houses as far as a block away, and could be felt for three miles. "It looks like a war zone here right now," fire-department spokeswoman Lt. Bonnie Hensley said of the inferno that erupted after two neighborhood homes exploded around 11 pm local time for unknown reasons. Three dozen homes were damaged or destroyed in the fire that resulted. Rescue workers combed the area repeatedly and took displaced residents to a shelter at a nearby school. "There's a significant number of homes that have sustained damage, including two that have been completely destroyed, no cause has been ruled out," said Marc Lotter, a spokesman for Indianapolis Mayor Greg Ballard. "The investigation is ongoing," he said. He added that seven people had been injured in the explosion, which left a large debris field and damaged at least 18 houses in addition to the two that were destroyed. An Indianapolis Fire Department spokeswoman said none of the injuries were life-threatening. The identities of the victims have not yet been released, Lotter said.
