Officials say an explosion in a maintenance area of a Veterans Affairs hospital campus in Connecticut killed two people.
VA Secretary Robert Wilkie said in a statement Friday that the victims were not patients and that patient care was not affected.
He says emergency personnel are on the scene.
A law enforcement official who had been briefed on the matter told
The Associated Press the deaths occurred in a maintenance area.
The official spoke on the condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to release information.
The federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration is looking into what happened.
