Ten people, including two teens and a girl of “primary school age”, have been killed after a service station in Ireland was blown apart.
Irish police said that four men, three women, a teenage boy, a teenage girl and a younger girl were killed at the Applegreen gas station in the village of Creeslough, Donegal, at about 3 p.m. local time on Friday. One person remains in a critical condition at a Dublin hospital and seven others are in a stable condition.
Superintendent David Kelly called the explosion a “tragic accident.” “Our information at this point in time is pointing towards a tragic accident. That said, being a Garda, I have to take a holistic and overall viewpoint but that's where we're going at the moment,” he said. The Taoiseach , Micheál Martin, said it was an “unspeakable tragedy.” “The entire nation is shocked at what has happened,” he said.
