It was not clear what caused the blast, which occurred at about 5:30 a.m. in Wauseon and also injured two other people. The explosion sent smoke spewing from the home, and large amounts of debris were spread across the front yard.

A witness told a local TV station that he and some other people pulled a woman and her son from the home. They were being treated at a hospital for undisclosed injuries.
