ALLENTOWN, Pa.—A car exploded on a downtown street in what authorities called a “criminal incident,” leaving three people dead and leading to a shelter-in-place order for nearby residents and an investigation by federal, state and local authorities.
The blast in Allentown that occurred at about 9:30 p.m. Saturday left three males dead, Lehigh County Coroner Scott Grim said Sunday afternoon. Autopsies were planned Monday, and Grim said the names of the males would be released once their identities are confirmed and their families are notified.
