Indianapolis Metro Police have not made official identification of the two people killed in Saturday night's explosion on the south side, but they are believed to be Jennifer and Dion Longworth.
Jennifer was a second grade teacher at Southwest Elementary School in Greenwood. Classes will be delayed by two hours Monday morning at all Greenwood schools, and a candlelight vigil was planned at Southwest Elementary at 7:00 pm.
Meantime, investigators are trying to determine the cause of the explosion.

They don't know what caused it because the gas company can't get to where it happened.
