World News: A tragic explosion occurred in Los Angeles, California, on Saturday morning, claiming the lives of three people. The blast happened inside the premises of the County Sheriff's Department, specifically at the Biscailuz Center Academy Training Facility in East Los Angeles. The facility is not accessible to the general public, raising concerns that those who died may have been associated with law enforcement.
Blast in a Restricted Training Center
The explosion took place in an area managed by the Special Enforcement Bureau of the Los Angeles County Sheriff. Reports suggest that the general public did not have access to the area, which increases the possibility that the victims were sheriff's employees or officials. As of now, it is still unclear whether the deceased were officers or support staff.
Possible Involvement of Explosives
According to a spokesperson from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, the explosion occurred while the bomb squad was handling explosives. The exact cause of the blast is still under investigation. Sources quoted by the Los Angeles Times said the bomb squad may have been transporting or inspecting explosive materials when the incident happened.
FBI and Law Enforcement Agencies Involved
U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi shared a message on social media confirming the incident and the loss of three lives. She also stated that U.S. Attorney Bill Espley from California’s Central District informed her about the explosion. The FBI has reached the site and started a full investigation to find out what led to the deadly incident.
Sheriff Deputies Likely Among the Victims
A report by Fox News claimed that all three victims may be sheriff's deputies. Although the department has not officially confirmed the identities of the deceased, multiple sources have indicated that no civilians were involved, since the location is a restricted government facility.
Investigation Continues
The Los Angeles County Fire Department and the FBI are jointly investigating the site. The area has been sealed off for safety, and officials are carefully examining all potential reasons behind the explosion. Authorities are expected to release more information once the preliminary investigation is complete.
