Their block late last night. Just after Midnight Police responded to this home on lebanon avenue. They found a 19yearold man with three gunshot wounds lying on the living room floor. And a plastic chair on the porch was set on fire. We heard pop pop pop. I came down to see what was going on and the porch was lit up and the young man next door was trying to put it out. The investigators returned in daylight to retrieve shell casings on the porch. They believe the victim and suspect were fighting and when the victim opened it he saw the weapon and shut the door and he shot and was shot three times. One bullet just missed hi heart. It appears there was a glass container that had an accelerant of some type. Possibly gasoline or another flammable liquid according to the fire marshall.
