Officials say there were seven people hospitalized, including five people in critical condition. 

One of the two victims killed in yesterday's massive gas explosion in northwest Baltimore was a Morgan State University sophomore.

Joseph Graham was "pursuing an electrical engineering degree from the Clarence M. Mitchell, Jr. School of Engineering," and died in the blast, university officials said.

"It is with a heavy heart that we regretfully share the unfortunate news of the untimely passing a valued member of our Morgan family," the university said in a statement. "As a community we mourn the tragic loss of life as a result of this calamitous event and offer our deepest sympathies to the Graham family. We ask that you keep them and their extended family and friends in prayer. In addition, please be reminded that counselors in the University Counseling Center are always available for those in need of assistance. The Center can be reached at 443-885-3130."

BGE and federal regulators determined that the pipes feeding the houses were not leaking. In fact, there have been no leaks reported here within the last five years.
