DC man killed in fireworks accident
WASHINGTON - Here's another reminder to stay safe during this 4th of July weekend.
D.C. police say around 11 p.m. Friday they found a man with "severe injuries" to his head and an undisclosed extremity after an apparent fireworks accident.
This happened in the 800 block of Jefferson Street Northwest.
A first responder can be heard on the dispatch call saying the victim, a 30-year-old man, had "brain matter showing" at the scene.
On Saturday police said the man later died at a nearby hospital.
The injury happened about two days after a 9-year-old D.C. boy lost a finger to a firework explosion in Southeast.
