"I was passing by and heard the explosion, thought it was my tire. I exited the car and saw the convenience store. I approached it and saw two people on the ground, but I cannot say if they were dead or not."

"We heard a loud noise and are now waiting for the funeral services to arrive. Everyone exited the building to see what happened."

Boris Busuioc, 62, was near the store at the time of the explosion. The man was taken to the hospital, suffering from shock and injuries.
