VANCOUVER, Wash. (AP) — Clark County, Washington, sheriff’s deputies say a Vancouver man was badly burned when a house with his girlfriend and three others inside was set on fire.
The sheriff’s office says deputies responding to a domestic disturbance Friday night were told the boyfriend had doused the 23-year-old woman with gasoline, poured gas around the house and fled. A fire broke out, but the woman, her 5-year-old son, her sister and mother were able to escape.
Deputies say a man was found nearby with severe burns to his hands, arms and legs. He was taken to Legacy Emmanuel Hospital in Portland for treatment. The sheriff’s office identified him as 23-year-old David Michael Miller, of Vancouver. No charges have been filed in the case.
The girlfriend was treated and released at a Vancouver hospital.
