Things changed in an instant for the victims of the June 30 fireworks explosion that rattled a neighborhood in South LA, injured 17 people and destroyed apartments and cars up and down the street.
Jose Bacerra is one of the victims of the explosion, which occurred when the Los Angeles Police Department attempted to safely detonate illegal fireworks in a residential area. He said nothing could’ve prepared his family for what they endured in the aftermath.
“Our life changed,” said Bacerra.
