STORYLINE:
Emergency services lined up the road by the Los Angeles County Coroners Office, saluting as a procession carrying the bodies of the three deputies killed earlier on Friday drove past them.
A blast at a Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department training facility killed three members of its arson and explosives unit, marking one of the department’s worst losses of life from a single incident, the sheriff said.
All three were veteran deputies. The department hasn’t said what they were doing at the time of the blast or what caused it.
Los Angeles County Sheriff Robert Luna said the arson and explosives team undergoes in-depth training and responds to more than 1,000 calls a year. The deputies had served 19, 22 and 33 years in the department, Luna said.
The explosion was reported about 7:30 a.m. at the Biscailuz Training Facility, Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department spokesperson Nicole Nishida said.
An early line of investigation was looking at a possible training accident, according to a law enforcement official briefed on the matter who was not authorized to discuss it and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.
