A fire investigation is happening now at Morris Brown College. It's the third fire on campus in less than a year. The college’s president says whoever did this left a gas can and fingerprints behind. The fire happened inside an administrative office early Tuesday morning, causing campus meetings to be canceled Wednesday. “It's crazy. It's crazy,” sophomore Gerraedua Williams said. Students in the Atlanta University Center say they are disappointed to hear that Morris Brown College is dealing with damage from another fire. The Atlanta Fire Department confirms it has opened an arson investigation after an alarm brought firefighters to the building around 8:30 a.m. Investigators took window fingerprints, along with a gas can that was left behind, and hope surveillance can show who is behind this.
