The Village of Hartland is mourning six people who died Friday morning after an apartment building was intentionally set on fire. The Hartland police chief said it's now a criminal investigation. The six killed in Friday's apartment fire that took place in Hartland were identified as being from the same family. The adults are Connor and Jessica McKisick, with their children being identified as a 14-year-old girl, a 12-year-old girl and two three-year-old boys. For most of the day Friday and then into the evening, the Hartland community struggled to find answers that would not come. Angie Taylor said she felt "Anger, sadness, frustration." Near the end of a nightmarish day, the mourners prayed silently and aloud, trying to understand not just what happened, but why. Grevenkamp said, "This was tragic and senseless in a way that is hard to grapple with." According to police, the fire started just after 5 a.m. It swept through a four-unit apartment building on Mansfield Court.
