Officials Say Gas Leak Caused Pittsburgh House Explosion

Pittsburgh officials say they believe a natural gas leak caused an explosion that leveled two houses and damaged at least 20 others. Pittsburgh Police arson investigator Michael Burns says investigators haven't determined what sparked Friday morning's blast. He also can't say if the leak was accidental or caused by someone with malicious intent. No one was injured. An Equitable Gas spokesman says a meter reading showed that more than twice the normal amount of gas was going into the home. The owner is in a nursing home, but his relatives were caring for the house. The other destroyed house was vacant.
