Mega City is a city searching for answers after two people were killed in an explosion this morning.

At 9:50 a.m., an explosion occurred in the food court of the Mega City Mall. Police reported to the scene, followed by fire rescue teams from Mega City, Central City, Starling City, and Astro City. Early responders reported less than 100 injuries.

Mega City Police Chief Ross Fuglsang held a press conference in city hall after the explosion. According to Fuglsang, the police department had no prior warning before the incident occurred. Fuglsang said, “We are working closely with Mega City Mall management to make sure the investigation is thorough and timely.”

Mega City Mall released a statement saying, “Our sympathy goes out to all the families impacted by today’s events. We will work closely with authorities to find answers and insure that the MCM remains a safe place for our customers and associates.”

The police department is working on clearing the building to gather better information. The investigation is being treated as an accident until proven differently.

Several mall employees were outside after the explosion. A custodian, who requested to remain anonymous, said, “I was cleaning in the food court when I was suddenly struck by a chair, breaking my collar bone. I ran and didn’t look back.”

Another employee, an elf at Santa’s Workshop, said “I wasn’t near the food court, but I heard it. I just followed everyone as they ran out.”

Ross Fuglsang is holding another press conference at 2 p.m. to give any updates on the ongoing investigation.
