One person has been left dead and two are injured after a vehicle exploded in Allentown, Pennsylvania, on Saturday night (left and right). Allentown police said the event occurred around 9.30pm at the intersection of North Hall Street and West Turner Street

Police say that the explosion was 'intentional' and led to a shelter-in-place order for nearby residents.

The federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives is leading the investigation along with the FBI, state police, and city and county authorities. 

'We know there's been a criminal incident,' District Attorney James Martin told reporters at Sunday's news conference. 

'We have a high degree of confidence that the perpetrator was probably killed in the incident.' 

Authorities released no information about the possible cause of the blast, but Martin said 'loads of us in law enforcement' are confident 'this was A. an isolated incident and B. there's no continuing threat.' 

Resident Carlos Perodin told The Morning Call of Allentown that he was watching a movie with his wife when he heard a thunderous explosion and went to the scene. 

A bus station was turned into a makeshift command center with police cruisers, armored cars and portable bathrooms. Additionally, evidence processing was conducted in a number of portable tents (pictured)

The FBI Philadelphia Field office tweeted on Sunday morning that it is now investigating the incident along with state and local authorities 

'The fire was crazy,' he said. 'The car was pretty much split in half.'

Another witness to the aftermath of the explosion, Stephanie Connelly, said she saw body parts strewn across the street.

'This is real life and I'm shaking and freaking out while I'm running,' she said.

A bus station was turned into a makeshift command center with armored vehicles, dozens of police cruisers, mobile command units and even portable bathrooms, the paper reported. Several portable tents were also erected for evidence processing.

Residents were asked to avoid the area, and people who live nearby were asked to shelter in place. 

A shelter was set up at an elementary school.

The FBI had earlier said it was working with other agencies and 'to assess the situation and determine the cause, with public safety the bureau's highest priority.' 

Officials asked anyone who witnessed the blast or had information about it to contact investigators.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
