A seventh body was recovered Tuesday from an apartment fire in Silver Spring, Montgomery County Police said.
Police haven't identified the seven victims. The bodies have been transported to the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in Baltimore for autopsy and possible identification, police said.
The explosion late Wednesday night at the Flower Branch apartment complex shook buildings more than a mile away and sent debris flying a hundred yards.
