ST. PAUL, Minn. — A Minnesota man remained hospitalized in critical condition Wednesday following surgery to remove a fireworks explosive from his chest.

The Anoka County Sheriff’s Department says the 31-year-old Linwood Township suffered massive chest injuries Saturday when he used a hand-held metal mortar tube to launch two rockets. The first rocket went off as planned. The second blew out the bottom of the tube and injured Beheng.
