That’s what we’re still trying to find out at this time. Eden Police said they got a call around 12:45 a.m. about an explosion. Debris was scattered on the road and adjacent parking lot. Duke Energy and Piedmont Natural Gas were on scene around 3 a.m. ATF was also at the scene along with the State Fire Marshal. Officials flew a drone after daybreak to take a closer look at the debris field.
The blast damaged several surrounding businesses, including AIA Sweepstakes, Tee To Green Golf Shop and King’s Inn Pizza Parlor. The damage for most of those businesses included busted and broken windows.
