Two people were critically injured in an explosion and fire Tuesday morning after smoking on a catwalk over oil storage tanks in northeast Texas, officials say.

According to Van Zandt County Fire Marshal Chuck Allen, at about 3 a.m. firefighters were called to a fire at an oil storage facility north of Van along state Highway 110.

At the facility are at least six 400-barrel fiberglass storage tanks, three of which caught fire and exploded, NBCDFW reported.  Multiple fire departments responded to the scene and ultimately decided to let the fire burn itself out.

A short time later, a 24-year-old man with burns to his face, chest and arms, and a 24-year-old woman also critically injured, showed up at the Van Fire Department seeking medical attention. Both were both taken to the East Texas Medical Center in Tyler before being transferred to Parkland Memorial Hospital in Dallas.

The names of the victims have not been released and neither person has been identified as an employee of the storage facility.

Allen said the victims were believed to be trespassing and smoking on a catwalk above the storage tanks.

Allen added that most of the tanks had very little crude oil in them at the time of the explosion.

The fire marshal is working to identify which company owns the facility.

Rangers Address Report Cruz a Client of PED Clinic

The Texas Rangers have issued a response to a Miami NewTimes article that alleges slugger Nelson Cruz was a client at a clinic that sold performance enhancing drugs.

The report alleges, based on a list of clients and other information brought forward by a former employee of the Biogenesis anti-aging clinic, that the clinic sold performance enhancing drugs including human growth hormone, testosterone and anabolic steroids.

The NewTimes reported the client list to include a number of high-profile athletes including Cruz, Alex Rodriguez, Bartolo Colon and Melky Cabrera, among others.

"The Texas Rangers were contacted late last week by Miami New Times regarding the story posted this morning. At that time, the Rangers contacted Major League Baseball on that inquiry. The team has no further comment."

According to the Miami NewTimes article, the chief of the clinic, Anthony Bosch, wrote in a 2012 notebook that he sold $4,000 worth of "product" to the Rangers slugger. Below is an excerpt of the Miami NewTimes report:

But there are also several prominent professionals in Bosch's records who have never before been linked to steroid use. According to his July 2012 client sheet, Bosch sold $4,000 of product to Nelson Cruz, whom he nicknames "Mohamad." Cruz, the power-hitting Dominican outfielder for the Texas Rangers, has whacked 130 bombs in his eight-year career without any links to performance-enhancing drugs. Until now. Bosch writes in his 2012 book: "Need to call him, go Thur to Texas, take meds from April 5-May 5, will owe him troches and... and will infuse them in May."

The NewTimes report said it tried to contact Cruz for comment, through the Rangers, but that there was no response.

Cabrera and Colon were both suspended last year for violating baseballs PED policy.

Plano police issued a warrant Monday night for a Euless man wanted in connection with an armed robbery.

Police are looking for David Lee Horton Jr., 33, and have charged him with aggravated robbery for a robbery on Jan. 21 at a Radio Shack on the 3300 block of Dallas Parkway, just off of the Parker Road exit of the Dallas North Tollway.

Horton went into the store, displayed a handgun, forced the store's clerks into a back storeroom and restrained them, police said.

Horton then stole cash and electronics from the store before he fled, police said.

Police released a photograph of Horton along with an image of the vehicle authorities believe he may be driving. Police said Horton was last seen in a white, four-door vehicle, possibly a Honda Civic, with a sunroof.

UPDATE: David Lee Horton was arrested Tuesday morning at a Lewisville IHOP after barricading himself in a bathroom and refusing to leave.

Dallas Goes Goo Goo for Gaga

Lady Gaga's "little monsters" wait for a front-row pass to the singer's AAC show.

Outside the American Airlines Center, braving possible severe weather and the glare of those giant TV screens, dozens of Lady Gaga's "little monsters" waited.

The tickets were already sold out for Tuesday night's show before any of them got in line outside the venue. They were there for something more.

"We wanted to be in the front, closest to Gaga," said Kayla Bullard of Fort Worth. "We wanted to, you know, experience it from the front. We did it last time, and it was amazing."

That front-row experience -- the "monster pit," as it's called -- only goes to fans who've been waiting in line the longest.

Some camped out overnight; others were in costume as they counted down to the singer's sold out show.

Connecting with the star is something most "monsters" find so appealing. Fans in many cities on her latest tour have endured the same wait to be closer to the pop star.

"Hopefully I get to meet Lady Gaga," said Sonia Leslie, who traveled from Louisiana to see the show. "Maybe she will invite me backstage."

They'll have to wait a little longer, though. Fans will find out if they've snagged those passes later Tuesday afternoon.

Texas State Representative, and A&M grad, Ryan Guillen, has filed a bill for consideration that would require his alma mater and the University of Texas to play an annual, regular season football game.

Guillen, a Democrat who has held office since 2002, filed HB 778 on Monday and announced the legislation on Twitter.

The bill calls for an annual, nonconference, regular season game between the Aggies and Longhorns who, until A&M left the Big 12 conference for the SEC in 2012, had enjoyed a lengthy, historic rivalry.

Should the bill be passed as presented, if either of the schools refused to play each other then they would not be allowed to offer state-funded scholarships, grants or financial assistance to football players in the following academic year.

If passed, the bill would go into effect in the 2014-2015 season. To pass, the bill bust be approved by by two-thirds of the legislature.
