Two people were killed and others were injured in a gas explosion Monday northeast of Dallas, officials said.
The explosion happened at a site north of Farmersville, the Collin County Sheriff's Office said in a statement at around 5:30 p.m. local time.
The statement did not say how many were injured or their conditions. Aerial video from NBC Dallas-Fort Worth showed a site that appeared to contain gas lines. The sheriff's office said the scene is safe.
Collin County Sheriff's Assistant Chief Nick Bristow told NBC Dallas-Fort Worth that two people were injured in addition to the two who died. He told the station that Atmos subcontractors were doing pipeline maintenance when the explosion occurred, and it appeared to be an accident.
Atmos Energy said in a statement that its technicians are working with first responders.
"Our prayers are with those who were affected by the events in Farmersville, Texas today. Out of respect for their privacy, we are not releasing any names or additional details at this stage," the company said.
