Comments Off

AN ARSON-RELATED KILLING SPREE INVOLVED TWO HOUSES AND ONE AUTO in three locations spread around two counties near Columbus, Ohio.  It began early Monday morning at 2:30 am when a man phoned dispatch to report that he’d just shot someone and then set his house on fire.

When Columbus FD arrived on the scene they found a house fully involved.  After knocking the fire down they discovered a woman’s body that had a gunshot wound in the head.

Meanwhile, in another community Upper Arlington firefighters were working a fire at a house owned by the murdered woman found in Columbus.  Before the day was out, detectives found the arsonist’s car in another county with his body inside of it along with multiple firearms.

It’s hard to tell the players without a program, but WCMH-TV 4 tries to in this video report:
