Four people died — including an infant and two other children — in a Chicago apartment fire that
authorities believe was deliberately set following a domestic dispute.
The fire broke out before 2 a.m. Tuesday in a three-story building in the South Chicago neighborhood.
Police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi says a preliminary investigation indicates that a person returned to the building after a domestic dispute and set fire to the rear porch.
A 3-month-old child was among the victims, cops said. Two other children and a man also died.
Several residents jumped from the building's windows to escape.
"It was so scary because you're running around and there's nothing you can get. It's just the nick of the time,” resident Lanita Smith told ABC station WLS-TV.
