Fourteen people were injured — six of them critically — in a building explosion in Minneapolis that sent flames shooting 20 feet into the air Wednesday morning, authorities said. The three-story building on Cedar Ave. South housed a halal market and 10 apartments adjacent to a mosque, which was also damaged. Rescuers rushed there after a blast and fire were reported at 8:16 a.m. Some residents were rescued with ladders. Others jumped or fell. It's unclear how many people might have been trapped inside and a family center was being set up to try to determine if anyone was still missing.
The cause was under investigation.
