The early Saturday blast could be felt for miles around and sparked a fire that eventually caused so much damage, several shops were razed.
Among the victims were three James Madison University students who suffered minor injuries.
The trio had been standing outside the store when the explosion occurred, part of an Army ROTC running group which had been involved in a 10-mile race, the finish line of which was just yards from the explosion site.
While Gov. Ralph Northam identified the source of the incident as a gas explosion, local officials could not confirm the cause, saying more investigation was needed.

Screw virginia. Let it burn.
Another terrorist attack by the black lives matter jerks ?
Gov. Northam said this was Trump's fault.
538 - now now...VA is needed so they take DC rather than MD. Understand there is a river and DC is on the MD side.
We don't want anything related to DC. Bad enough the ash/trash coming out of DC goes straight to PG county.
