Several people are injured after a 'suspicious' fire broke out at an L.A. apartment.
CLARIFICATION: A previous version of this story cited reports from the fire department that people had jumped from the sixth floor to escape the fire. The fire department later corrected the statement, saying that people only “contemplated jumping."
Terrazas initially said authorities had a suspect in custody, but Eisenberg later said no one was in custody. Eisenberg did not say whether a suspect had been held earlier in the day. Despite initial reports from the fire department that people had jumped from the sixth floor of the building to escape the blaze, officials later said no one had jumped.
The American Red Cross established an evacuation center for displaced residents at the Westwood Recreation Center. Authorities also were investigating whether the building's smoke alarms were functioning and whether the building had been inspected recently, Scott said.
