IRVINE, Calif. (AP) — An explosion during an indoor training exercise Wednesday sent 16 members of Southern California's Orange County Sheriff’s Department SWAT team to the hospital, with one person requiring surgery for a leg injury, the department said. The blast occurred shortly before 1 p.m. at the facility in a remote area of Irvine, said sheriff's Sgt. The most severe injury was a non-life-threatening leg wound that will require surgery, Gonzalez said. The two other wounded deputies won't require surgery, he said. The facility south of Los Angeles hosts firearms training and qualifications tests for the FBI and local law enforcement agencies, Eimiller said.
