Police Shoot and Kill Suspect Who Started California Wildfires

Last night, police shot and killed one of the people suspected in causing the wildfires that have devastated California. The man was found near a campus in San Bernardino by the police and was shot while trying to get away in his pickup truck.

A man named John Alfred who is being held on $750,000 bail on suspicion of arson. Somebody saw him start a fire along Highway 173, which was extinguished, but so far he has not been connected with the fire around Lake Arrowhead. Police are sure that the two fires in Orange County and Temecula were started by arsonists.
