Three sheriff’s deputies reportedly have died in a massive explosion at a training facility for the Los Angeles County sheriff’s department.

A statement from the agency said multiple deputies died in the explosion Friday at the East Los Angeles site used for training operations.

The explosion was at about 7:25 a.m. local time at the Biscailuz Training Center.

“Sources said it appears an accident occurred when deputies were moving ordnances on the training facility property,” Fox News reported.

Fox News cited Attorney General Pam Bondi’s social media statement where she said she spoke with Bill Essayli, U.S. attorney for the Central District of California, regarding the “horrific incident.”

“I just spoke to @USAttyEssayli about what appears to be a horrific incident that killed at least three at a law enforcement training facility in Los Angeles,” Bondi wrote. “Our federal agents are at the scene and we are working to learn more. Please pray for the families of the sheriff’s deputies killed.”
