An 8-year-old Calif. girl died on the Fourth of July in an incident involving illegal fireworks, according to local police. The girl was 'struck' and suffered 'fatal injuries' consistent with a 'fireworks-related explosion' after several fireworks misfired.

Homeowner Earl Decastro, 46, was nabbed and booked for involuntary manslaughter, though he has since posted his $25,000 bail.

California residents who lit illegal fireworks over the July 4 holiday may be in for a nasty surprise in the mail thanks to covert fire department operations.
