A home near the intersection of Capitol and Ocean Avenues in the Ingleside neighborhood sort of blew up last night around 9 p.m. sending a woman and a 12-year-old to the hospital with burns. A third person, the woman's fiancé who lives in the home, was also present, but said he had gone out to his car to retrieve something when the explosion occurred. But it gets curiouser...
The explosion appears to have started in the bathroom, where the woman was (the kid was in the living room playing video games), and residue on the sink suggest that "the explosion may be drug related."
Anyway, take this is a cautionary tale, kids. And we hope that kid's alright.
Update: KTVU has updated their original reporting to indicate that the blast stemmed from a butane tank related to the alleged manufacture of drugs. So, this was an in-home meth lab, possibly in a bathroom? Or maybe the butane tank was just next to the bathroom. Anyway. Meth lab. In Ingleside. Terrific.
