San Fernando Valley : SCHOOL FIRE
- Share via
Vandals broke into a Glendale high school, started a fire that caused an estimated $1 million in damage and wrote the Satanic symbol “666” on a chalk board, officials said Wednesday.
Two classrooms on the third floor of Hoover High School’s science building were gutted and a third was badly damaged by the blaze, which was reported at 2:30 a.m. No arrests had been made, but police believe the fire may be connected to a string of recent burglaries at area high schools in which Satanic markings were left behind.
