Two 12-year-old boys were injured Tuesday in an explosion on E. Withrow Street Tuesday night, according to Oxford police. A Butler County dispatcher said the 911 call arrived at 7:45 p.m. and described an injury from an accident involving fireworks. Police believe the explosion was caused by a "modified pyrotechnic device" one of the boys ignited. Oxford officers described finding one child covered in blood.
