BUFFALO, N.Y. — Authorities are investigating if an arsonist started a house fire near the scene of a deadly shooting.
Crews responded to a vacant house on the 100 block of Hirschbeck Street just after 2 a.m. Thursday.
They estimate the fire caused about $45,000 in damage. The cause is still under investigation.
Police say the house may have been the site of a homicide last month.
Police say a 19-year-old man was shot and killed in the same area on May 27th.
