Without a Home, But Not Without a Suspect

An early-morning fire caused heavy damage to the Rosemary Village apartments at 1901 East-West Hwy. near 16th Street, ABC 7 News and NBC 4 report.




The blaze started around 3:30 a.m. in the kitchen of a ground-floor apartment, though no one was home at the time. At least three families are receiving assistance from the Red Cross after being displaced from their apartments. No injuries were reported

The fire department's arson squad is investigating the cause. One man was arrested at the scene on an unrelated charge and is considered a person of interest, NBC 4 writes.
