Federal law enforcement agencies are getting involved in the search for the suspect or suspects who set fire to the office of a Madison-area anti-abortion group on Sunday morning.
Police Chief Shon Barnes says someone was driving past the building when they noticed the fire and called 9-1-1.
“Our responding officers observed smoke coming from inside the building and a ground-level window which had been breached,” Chief Barnes said during a press conference on Monday.
“Fire investigators located an incendiary device, sometimes referred to as a Molotov Cocktail, inside the office. We’re still working to determine what type of accelerant was used in this device,” Chief Barnes said.
Chief Barnes says multiple pieces of evidence have been collected and sent to “federal partners for processing.”
