Prosecutors, perhaps did not pursue the Death Penalty and two major factors that may have played a big role. Live in charlottesville, jeff goldberg, abc 7 news. Thank you. We want to get back to that deadly fire in Brooklyn Park. Three people died when flames raced through the home on hilltop road west. This is just across from the united brethren in christ church. Maryland bureau chief is live on the scene where the pastor lived with his family. The mother ran back in and a neighbor who lives across the street also hearing calls for help ran into this home. So three people are in the burning building when firefighters arrived, the three people couldnt get out. Firefighters didnt get them out but it was too late. None of them could be saved. So in this neighborhood, we have two families devastated a compound tragedy. We had an opportunity to the man who lost his wife and son. He had the courage and the grace to go speak to the mother of the young man who died trying to save his family.
Teenager they knew as sunny gather and leave white roses. Sunnys Father Samuel sinnah sits in the Neighboring Church where he is pastor. The ruined home of the parsonage. He usually comforts others. Now with his wife and son gone, he tries to be strong. Its tough. Im worried about my son. Its a hard time to talk about it. But the fire spokesperson says there are some lessons for all of us here. Sad story. There were no smoke detectors in this house. The call to 911 was delayed when one of the sons attempted to fight the fire himself. Firefighters say that is a terrible mistake. Additionally, they say once hed gotten out of the burning building, you just cant go back in. The smoke and the toxic fumes and the heat can claim a life in a matter of seconds.

It took firefighters two hours to contain the fire at the lazy liza
