CMPD detectives charged a 20-year-old with two counts of attempted first degree murder and first degree arson among other charges Thursday after a massive apartment fire injured seven, left over 130 people without homes and caused millions in damages.
According to Charlotte Fire, firefighters responded to a fire at the Woodscape Apartments on Farm Pond Lane around 1 a.m. Monday. When crews arrived on the scene, they discovered extensive damage with heavy fire coming from the building.
A team of about 50 firefighters got the blaze under control in about an hour, Charlotte Fire said.
