Nine people suffered minor burns when fireworks were accidentally shot into the crowd in Avon, Colorado.
Town manager Virginia Egger told The Associated Press that a malfunction caused a fireworks shell to explode in its tube, rather than firing into the sky Friday night. She said the misfired shell caused a rack of shells to tip, causing two or three shells to go off toward the crowd.
Courtney von der Heyde, a Vail, Colorado, resident who was watching the fireworks, captured the moment on video:
