NORTH HAVEN, Conn. — Authorities say that a body has been found in a Connecticut building after an explosion during a standoff with police that left nine officers injured. Trooper Kelly Grant said that the remains of one unidentified person was found in a building at the home in North Haven Thursday morning.
North Haven officials say the blast happened at a barn behind a home Wednesday night while police were negotiating with a man who had taken his wife hostage.
The officers suffered non-life-threatening injuries. There are five officers injured from East Haven, three from North Haven and one from Branford.
Kelly says that a woman had called police to report domestic violence before the explosion Wednesday night.
Firefighters were continuing to work on the fire.
