Police Say 3 Teens Admit Starting Deadly Fire
Three teenage girls confessed to starting a fire in a suburban Paris housing project that killed 16 people, French police said.
Sunday’s fire south of Paris in L’Hay-les-Roses was the third fatal blaze in the Paris area in two weeks. The death toll rose by one after a man died late Sunday in a hospital where seven others were being treated for serious injuries, police said.
The teenagers were taken in for questioning Sunday; two are 18 and the other is 16, police said. Further details were not immediately available.
