Source: Minneapolis Star Tribune

A natural gas explosion late Wednesday morning rocked Minnehaha Academy’s upper school in Minneapolis, causing a partial building collapse and leaving two people unaccounted for and injuring five others, fire and school officials said.
A third person believed to be missing was found uninjured at about noon. All of the injured people were adults. One is in critical condition.
The building near E. Lake Street in the 3100 block of West River Parkway has collapsed to some degree, and fire crews are on the scene extinguishing the blaze and looking to remove any people who might be trapped, officials added.
As of 11 a.m., paramedic crews were treating people at the scene for injuries. Five people were taken by ambulance to the hospital.
