LOS ANGELES, July 30 (UPI) -- One person was killed and another injured Friday in an apparent explosion at a welding shop in Los Angeles, firefighters reported.

A resulting fire was knocked down in about 25 minutes by the 100 firefighters who responded.
A fire department spokesman at the scene told reporters a natural-gas leak was suspected as the cause.
