KHOU-11 by Jaime E. Galvan, Michelle Choi
An explosion at a bar between Houston's Museum District and Third Ward shook homes miles away early Friday morning.
And the incident was intentional, Deputy Chief Allison Stein with the Houston Fire Department's arson division confirmed.
The explosion happened around 4:45 a.m. at Bar 5015 in the 5100 block of Almeda Road. Residents said the explosion could be felt as far away as the Texas Southern University campus.
Houston police said the explosion happened after the bar closed at 11 p.m., so they don't believe anyone was inside at the time of the incident. No injuries have been reported.
The explosion left wood debris littered across the area, and a KHOU 11 News crew smelled the odor of strong gas when they arrived at the scene.
