TSN : Explosion fells building outside Paris, killing at least 2: ROSNY-SOUS-BOIS France (Reuters) - A four-story building in a Paris suburb collapsed after an explosion on Sunday morning, killing a child and an elderly woman, and emergency teams were searching the rubble for others still missing. About 150 emergency workers were on hand with sniffer dogs trying to find six people unaccounted for, said the prefect of Saint-Seine-Denis, Philippe Galli. An 8-year-old child died in the buildings collapse, and firefighters found an unconscious 80-year-old woman in the debris who died while being taken out, fire department spokesman Gabriel Plus said. Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve, speaking to reporters at the scene, said the explosion at around 7 a.m. (1 a.m. ET) appeared to have been caused by a gas leak.
