CenterPoint officials tell eyewitness news a third party damaged a gas line at east Walnut and Denby Avenue, and workers shut off power to homes along Walnut as a precaution. Workers made repairs to the area and officials declared the area safe by 3:40 p.m..

CenterPoint says the line was a four-inch gas main.
