Three people were killed in a house explosion yesterday just outside of Fort Pierre. Trevor and Kelsey Hupp were at work when the explosion occurred at their home along Highway 1806 in the Antelope Creek area southeast of Fort Pierre. The blast killed their infant daughter and both of Trevor’s parents. Their sons, ages 5 and 3, were airlifted to a burn unit in Minnesota. The house was leveled in the explosion. The cause is not known, but foul play is not suspected. A GoFundMe page set up for the Hupp family has raised more than $150,000.
