WAUKEGAN, Ill. (AP) - A large explosion has blown the top off a shopping plaza in Waukegan, Ill. Police say at least six people have been taken to a hospital.
The explosion struck around lunchtime yesterday. It blew the windows out of storefronts and collapsed the ceilings above stores.
Witness Candi Rixie was taking orders at a sandwich shop a block away. She said she felt a rumble, almost like somebody hit the building with a car.
It wasn't immediately clear what caused the blast.
