Wow, 7 people lived there and 6 were visiting. Just awful for such an accident to happen when there were so many people in the house at the time . Kinda shocking nobody was killed!

Syracuse Fire Chief Michael Monds told reporters in a news briefing that crews responded to multiple 911 calls about an "explosion" and collapse at the two-story home, arriving to find "multiple victims outside." Firefighters had to pull at least one youth out of a car buried in the rubble, he said.

"The building was indeed collapsed," Monds said. "It was a very dangerous scene. There were power lines down and the dangerous odor of gas."

Police and fire officials will be investigating what caused the collapse of the home, which dates to 1920, the fire chief said.
