One of them, an 18-year-old, was in the back of a pickup truck and had his hands blown off while attempting to throw mortar style fireworks, police said.SAPD said another victim had a firework blow up in his face and blew off three fingers from one hand and badly damaged his other hand. He also suffered injuries to both his eyes, a police report said.The victims were taken by EMS to Brooke Army Medical Center for their injuries.
