Explosion in New York

Around 3:17 a building blew up in New York. The inspectors of the building were there just an hour before it happened. 12 people were injured and 3 were seriously hurt and in tough condition. The explosion is apparently from a gas leak but officials didn't want to say too much before they knew the whole story. The inspector said they installed the gas tank but never gave it the okay to be used yet. 2 buildings surround the blown up one had been damaged but no one was said to be trapped in any of the buildings. There were around 250  firefighters who reported to the scene.

Virginia teen accused of being ISIS recruiter

Last week a 17 year old boy was arrested for helping an older adult get to Syria. Officials think the adult joined ISIS. The teen and his home had been being watched for more than a month because he was suspicious. It said that he had been giving out messages from ISIS. The teen had been writing articles for an online website and his boss and the website editor were both very surprised that the teen was arrested. They said he seemed intelligent and expressed a lot of his faith and religion online. His boss didn't realize he was in high school because there were college courses on his resume. This teen is not the only one that supposedly helped ISIS. It is estimated that 180 Americans have tried to go against the U.S, but the teen got caught.
