Restaurant explosion vs. TV shows

Several fans of "The Bachelor," "New Girl" and "NCIS" were upset when Kansas City stations interrupted the shows for breaking coverage of an explosion at Country Club Plaza. At least 14 people were hospitalized with injuries; at least one person died in the blast.
