An explosion late Wednesday morning at a building at Minnehaha Academy in Minneapolis trapped people, fire officials said. The fire department initially said one person had died, but then said the fatality was not confirmed.

The building in the 3100 block of West River Parkway has collapsed to some degree, and fire crews are on the scene extinguishing the blaze and looking to remove any people who might be trapped, officials added.

As of 11 a.m., paramedic crews were treating people at the scene for injuries.

A statement from school administrators said the explosion involved a natural gas leak affecting only the upper school.

They said that any families that wish to pick up children should use Edmund Boulevard to the south of the private school’s campus.

Kids were actually there? How early does school start these days!? :O

Figured at least there would only be staff present so minimal casualties.
