3 die in bakery gas blast

TWO firefighters and a Spanish tourist died in an explosion at a Paris bakery.

The gas blast injured 47 others and another ten were seriously hurt.

A gas leak was reported at the Hubert bakery but it was not until firefighters were investigating that the building blew up.

Parked cars were set on fire and debris scattered across streets.

Interior Minister Christophe Castaner had tweeted earlier: “At this hour, 2 firefighters are dead. 10 people are seriously injured, including a firefighter. 37 people are in a state of relative emergency.”
