(Omaha, NE) -- The people injured after a duplex explosion in Bellevue are identified as a Union Omaha defender and his family. A statement by the soccer club says 34 year-old Mechack Jérôme, his wife and another close relative are recovering from the incident. A moment of cheering in support was held during the second minute of today's 1-0 playoff win against the Richmond Kickers. Players also wore arm bands in support. The team is organizing a Go Fund Me, which they say will go to medical expenses and helping their children while they recover.
