Explosions went off at a Pennsylvania home shortly after a man who flashed his gun at an official retreated inside the residence, police say.
A group of homes were set ablaze after a man flashed his gun at an officer who arrived for a home inspection in Eagleville, Pennsylvania on Thursday.
There was a"large response" to a building fire at Cardin Place and Sunderland Drive at around noon local time, the Montgomery Sheriff's Office confirmed to NBC News.
"Upon arrival, they engaged the male in front of the residence and he retreated back inside," Jackson said."A very short time later, there were multiple loud explosions and the residence caught on fire." It's unclear whether the man is still inside the residence. Officials evacuated nearby residences and firefighters began to battle the flames. The building was still on fire as of Thursday afternoon, according to Jackson.
One person sustained minor injuries and is being treated at a local hospital. At least three buildings were damaged on the street following the explosions.
