Three Injured in Arlington Shooting and Fire

ARLINGTON — A shooting incident at a residence in east Arlington on Monday evening escalated into a fire, prompting a swift response from local police and fire departments. Authorities received reports of the shooting around 6 p.m. in the 800 block of Connolly Terrace, and upon arrival, they discovered that the home was engulfed in flames. Officers found a woman who had been grazed by a bullet at a neighboring house. The suspect, identified as her husband, was still inside the burning home. In a heroic effort, an officer managed to pull the man to safety, resulting in both the officer and the suspect suffering minor burns. All three individuals, including the injured woman, were transported to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. According to the Arlington Fire Department, the incident stemmed from a domestic dispute between the couple. The husband allegedly shot at his wife before setting their home on fire. Firefighters faced challenges in extinguishing the blaze due to the presence of the suspect inside the house with a firearm, which delayed their response. The investigation into the incident is ongoing, with authorities working to gather more details about the circumstances surrounding the domestic dispute and the subsequent actions taken by the suspect. The community remains on alert as police continue to address the implications of this violent event.
