2 boys hurt in fireworks explosion
By Associated Press
VANCOUVER, Wash. (AP) - Clark County authorities say a fireworks explosion sent two boys to the hospital late Sunday.
Sheriff's Sgt. Shane Gardner says a 7-year-old boy went by ambulance to Southwest Washington Medical Center because of multiple shrapnel injuries, including one near his jugular vein. A 13-year-old boy was taken to the same hospital by his parents. Gardner says a group of boys placed two dozen sparklers in a long-neck glass bottle. One sparkler protruded from the top of the bottle. The bottle exploded after the single sparkler was lit, sending shards of glass flying on a residential street near Pacific Middle School. The case has been referred to the Clark County Prosecutor's Office. |
