Arson Investigation Three People Injured in Clark County Fire

Three people were hurt in a Clark County fire Sunday evening. Police say they’re still investigating what caused it, but the homeowner says he has an idea.

“I smelled something real funny like metallic or something,” said resident Jon Ratliff.

Jon Ratliff, who says he lives in the apartment where the fire broke out, was letting a couple stay with him. He says he was watching TV in the living with his fiance when the woman came out of the bedroom yelling.

“She’s on fire yelling ‘help’ so I had a blanket on the back of my chair. So, I grabbed the blanket and started putting her out,” he said.

“Someone said that a meth lab blew up in her face, so I was freaking out,” said neighbor Angela Fraley.

Police had to evacuate 8 apartments as a precaution. Some neighbors explained what police told them had happened.

“That’s what blew up, was the fuel, that they actually did not get to finish the process of the meth lab,” said Fraley.

Ratliff says he was trying to help the couple, who used to be his neighbors, but had recently gotten kicked out and had no place to go.

“You let somebody stay with you and this is what happens,” said Ratliff.

Police say they are still investigation what caused the fire.

A man is recovering after he was shot during a home invasion Friday night. Now neighbors are weighing in on how they feel, and what they think needs to be done.

Throughout Saturday, everything was peaceful and calm at Eastridge Apartments off Alumni Drive, but Friday night was a different story. A man was rushed to the hospital after he was shot in the arm following a home invasion and brief argument, according to police.

“I was really surprised because nothing like that usually happens here,” said a neighbor, who asked to remain anonymous.

Some neighbors said they still feel safe, even after Friday night’s commotion.

“This is just a one incident and this doesn’t happen on a regular basis, so I feel safe,” said a neighbor.

Others say they do take safety precautions while on the property and will continue to be on alert.

“I don’t walk in the back part of the apartments because they don’t have enough lights out there,” said the neighbor.

She added some of the responsibility belongs to the supervisors and landlord, and that the application process should be examined more closely. The victim is expected to make a full recovery.

If you have any information on the shooting, you’re asked to call police.
