Authorities in Mississippi are on the hunt for a suspected arsonist who set several fires on and near the campus of Jackson State University, a historically Black public college.
JACKSON, Miss — Authorities in Mississippi’s capital city are on the hunt for a suspected arsonist who set seven fires early Tuesday morning.
“I’ve been here for 30 years. This is a major occurrence,” Patrick Armon, assistant fire chief for the Jackson Fire Department, told. “This is not something we normally go to. We have about a third of our department on sites.” Officials started to receive calls about several fires starting around 2:45 a.m. Officials said six of the seven fires were put out by 6 a.m. Epiphany church burned for more than four hours before the fire was extinguished.
