Deadly fertilizer plant devastates Texas town

Early Thursday in West Texas, an explosion occurred at a fertilizer plant. Around 15 people were killed and over 160 were injured. Officials say four firefighters are missing as well. The Department of Homeland Security said federal and state authorities are securing the area by shutting down nearby areas and restricting flights around it. The cause of the explosion is unknown. "Nothing at this point indicates we have had criminal activity, but we are not ruling that out," said William Patrick Swanton of the nearby Waco Police Department.
