An explosion at a chocolate factory in West Reading, Pa., on Friday has killed four people and left three missing, authorities have said.
The explosion just before 5 p.m. Friday at the R.M. Palmer Co. plant destroyed one building and damaged another nearby. The cause of the explosion is under investigation, Mayor Samantha Kaag said.
Rescuers searched throughout the night for the remaining missing people, removing debris and using canines, and they continue to do so, Police Chief Wayne Holben said Sunday. Holben said Saturday that rescuers found one person alive.
"We will not rest until every single person affected by this tragedy has been accounted for," Holben said.

"Everyone at R.M. Palmer is devastated," the company said in a statement read by the mayor at Sunday's news conference. "Our focus remains on supporting our employees and their families, and our thoughts and prayers are with all those..."
