Six people remain in a critical condition and one person is missing after a gas explosion in central Paris, the Paris prosecutor’s office told CNN.
Some 50 people were injured in the incident, although the Paris prosecutor’s office, which is investigating the blast, said the number may not be final. About 270 firefighters were deployed to the scene near Rue Saint Jacques in the city’s fifth arrondissement, and contained the fire within two hours, Paris police chief Laurent Nunez told reporters.
Paris American Academy, a fashion and design school, describes itself on its website as the “first bilingual design school” in the French capital Kent State University, in the US state of Ohio, said all its students at the Paris American Academy are safe and accounted following the blast. Locals were also stopped from returning to their homes in surrounding streets by authorities in the aftermath of the explosion.
