He was transported to Children's Hospital and was treated for smoke inhalation and other minor injuries.No other injuries were reported.The boy has been initially charged with delinquency by reason of aggravated arson, domestic violence, and five counts of attempted murder.Sheriff Jones released this statement, It's sad that again we are dealing with the youth of our community not placing any value on life and attempting to commit murder.
