Investigators on Sunday hunted for clues behind a thunderous explosion that leveled a strip mall, injured five people and rattled residents for miles on a peaceful morning in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley.
Nearby James Madison University said in a Facebook post that three students from the school's Army ROTC program who had been participating in a 10-mile race were among the injured. The explosion occurred about 30 yards from the start and finish line for the race, the school said.

Redevelopments of shopping centers in and around Boulder have reimagined the mall that became a familiar part of Americana: an enclosed structure with hundreds of merchants and big chain department stores. A center that's almost entirely retail with maybe a food court and a movie theater, is changing fast in the region.
