Authorities say a fire that started in a New York City e-bike shop spread to upper-floor apartments, killing four people and injuring several others. Fire officials say the early Tuesday blaze in Manhattan's Chinatown neighborhood was an accident caused by a lithium ion battery. It's the latest in a string of fires blamed on such batteries in the city. Authorities say two men and two women died, and two other women were hospitalized in critical condition. Officials say battery charging and electrical violations were found at the shop last year and it was fined $1,600. A man who said he owns the shop told The Associated Press that no batteries were being charged there overnight.
