TBI: House explosion in Gallatin appears 'intentional' after one person seriously injured

GALLATIN, Tenn. (WTVF) — The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation said a house explosion in Gallatin looked intentional, though the investigation into what happened would continue.

The explosion happened on Chaffin Court, where it seriously injured one woman.

We break down what we know in the player above.

Gallatin Fire Chief Jeff Beaman said the call came in just before 7:30 a.m. for a home that had exploded in the Airport Road area. Upon arrival, fire officials found the home with a fire in the middle.

According to Sumner County EMS, that individual seemed to be outside of the structure when it exploded and they were able to get to her quickly.

At this time, they are still doing damage assessments. There's no danger or hazards to the community as they've shut down gas lines in the area for safety precautions.
