7 hurt in explosion at suburban NYC college

An explosion at a college campus building north of New York City has injured seven people, but authorities say none are life-threatening.

The explosion at Nyack College happened just before noon.

A Rockland County undersheriff says the injured include one student and six staff. Robert Van Cura says they were taken to hospitals.

The college sent out a tweet saying that “Everyone is doing ok.”

Authorities say there’s a gas leak at the building, but it’s unclear if it caused the explosion or if the explosion caused the leak.

Nyack College is a Christian college about 25 miles north of New York City.
