Propane blast in Pennsylvania home claims mother and six children

A mother and six children, aged 3 to 11, were killed in an explosion and ensuing fire at a home in Lamar Township, Clinton County, Pennsylvania. Firefighters found seven people trapped but could not search the burning house; all seven died. Police say a propane leak inside the home may have sparked the blast, though exterior propane tanks were not involved, and the cause is under investigation. A neighbor described a loud boom and rapid flames as the family, who had recently moved to the area, was affected.
