ORIGINAL STORY: Officer-involved shooting, house fire in Edmond
“It was a very unsure situation,” a woman who lives in the area told KFOR. She did not feel comfortable going on camera. “There were flames shooting high into the sky. There was lots of smoke.”
Deputy Fire Chief Chris Denton said when crews got there, the home was heavily involved.
“When they showed up here they had fire on the first floor and on the outside of the building,” said Denton.
One man told KFOR off camera, neighbors believe the homeowner started the fire in his own house. When this good Samaritan went to warn others, he was greeted by the homeowner, Ross Norwood.
“Our calling party stated that a man swung a knife at him and took off down the street,” said Emily Ward, a spokeswoman for the Edmond Police Department.
