INDIANAPOLIS, IN -- The owner of a home which exploded says a faulty furnace may be to blame. Two people were killed and several others hurt in the blast Saturday night.

No one was inside the home which exploded because of the broken furnace. Investigators are looking into that faulty furnace, but say it will likely take weeks to determine what sparked the blast.

Currently, 27 homes are unsafe to live in. More than 200 people in the area have been displaced.
