WHITFIELD: Two firefighters and a civilian were killed and dozens more injured after an explosion in the heart of Paris. Authorities say it was caused by a gas leak at a bakery. CNN's Melissa Bell joins us now from Paris. So Melissa -- what more do we know about the firefighters who lost their lives?</s>MELISSA BELL, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Well Fredricka -- this is the scene here in Paris tonight. The Yellow Vest protests continue. And of course that was the context in which Saturday morning we heard about this loud explosion that had taken place in the center of Paris. It turned out that there had been a gas leak or at least once firefighters got there that was when the explosion took place. It was sufficiently explosive, the force of it was such that cars were overturned. People were thrown unprotected (ph) and all the windows around this bakery in which this explosion had taken place were shattered. The images are really quite dramatic. Of course, what we've now learned is that three people died in that tragedy. Two of the firefighters, of course, who were on the scene to check out the cause of this gas leak. And a third person, a Spaniard, also is known to have lost his life -- Fredricka.</s>WHITFIELD: All right. Melissa Bell -- thank you so much. That, in the midst of protests that have been ongoing now for weeks there in Paris. All right. There's so much more straight ahead in the NEWSROOM. It all comes right after this.
