The company initially called it a "pyrotechnics-related incident". , but later confirmed it was an explosion.

"We are now working with first responders and can confirm that at least two people have been injured and one person is missing as a result of the incident .... We are fully co-operating with authorities who are investigating," Berkeley Whaley of General Dynamics said in a statement.
