Five people received inhalation treatment, and a struck spectator was treated and released. A later call warned that the next attack would not be a smoke bomb. Romney says HUD prioritizes housing for low and moderate income families in urban renewal funding while rejecting withholding funds from communities that fail to provide such housing.
