GALLATIN, Tenn. (WTVF) — Authorities have said a home explosion in Gallatin that injured a woman appears to be intentional.

Now we've learned criminal indictments may be pending.

The resident is still in the hospital recovering from severe burns. Initially, it was thought an accidental leak in a natural gas line was to blame.

TBI: House explosion in Gallatin appears 'intentional' after one person injured

But then investigators hinted it may have been intentional.

We've since learned there are obvious signs that based on the size and location of the explosion it indeed appears to be intentional that someone planned it.

The TBI is finishing the investigation.

No word on potential suspects, but I’ve been told that based on the evidence gathered at the scene it is expected prosecutors will take the case to the grand Jury seeking a criminal indictment before the end of the month.

No word on for whom or the motive.

This was just a very bizarre and dangerous incident and it’s lucky no one is killed. I expect soon we will learn more about exactly how and why that home exploded
And, it now appears this was no accident.

Hermitage clinic for disabled patients set to close, cites loss of funding

I'm so thankful Robb Coles highlighted the Kamer Davis clinic in Hermitage and the hardship that may force its closure. The clinic provides care for patients with intellectual and developmental disabilities and there is no other place like it nearby. You can tell the staff is so passionate about the care they provide. I hope by shining the light on this, the right person can step in and make a difference.
