A New York man is dead after a firework exploded in his face at a Fourth of July party. WABC reports Gabriel Ruiz-Urresto, 37, died at his home in Central Islip, Long Island, while celebrating Independence Day.

A family was shooting off fireworks on a private dock when some other fireworks ignited and detonated early, according to the coroner's office.

A deadly July 4th across Southern California saw several people shot dead in Compton, a woman killed in an explosion in Chino and an unruly crowd causing chaos in Newport Beach with hundreds arrested.

An autopsy has clarified how a man died after a fireworks explosion at Lake Keowee over the Fourth of July weekend.

A gargantuan fireworks detonation likely caused by someone smoking a cigarette obliterated several homes and injured five people in an island community in Washington state this week, according to authorities.
