Mormon church officials say three missionaries from Utah were seriously injured in the Brussels airport terrorist attack.
 
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints issued a statement Tuesday identifying them as 66-year-old Richard Norby of Lehi, 20-year-old Joseph Empey of Santa Clara and 19-year-old Mason Wells of Sandy.
 
They were near the explosion when it occurred and have been hospitalized.
 
The three men were serving in Paris and were at the airport with a fourth missionary who was on her way to an assignment in Cleveland, Ohio.
 
The 20-year-old missionary, Fanny Rachel Clain, is from Montelimar, France.
 
It's unclear if her U.S.-bound flight took off.
 
At least 31 people were killed and nearly 190 wounded Tuesday after bombs went off in the Brussels airport.
