A small plane crashed into a home in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota, on Saturday afternoon killing all onboard and causing a fire, officials said. It was not immediately clear how many people were on board, Brooklyn Park fire chief Shawn Conway said at a news conference Saturday. Officials said they are still investigating the cause of the crash. All of the people inside of the home at the time exited safely, Conway said. It was not clear if they left the home before or after the crash.
Video posted to social media appeared to show a home at the end of a tree-filled yard engulfed in flames. Sirens could be heard in the background of the video. Another angle of the scene showed large plumes of smoke rising from a home in the middle of a neighborhood. The homes on either side did not appear to be affected by the fire. At least three firefighters could be seen hosing down the home.
