Fulton County GA County Commissioners Law Office Firebombed.
tlanta authorities are probing a firebombing incident after a device was thrown into a law office on Sunday evening.
Local fire crews responded to reports of a fire in southwest Atlanta, at a building at the 2000 block of Fairburn Road SW.
Firefighters were able to extinguish the fire, and no injuries were reported, FOX 5 Atlanta reported. Investigators told the news outlet that the backside of the building was damaged in the attack.
A firebomb is a bomb that causes a fire instead of exploding.
A motive behind the attack isn't yet clear. Newsweek has contacted Marvin S. Arrington Jr, a Fulton county commissioner who is also a partner at the law office that was hit—Arrington & Phillips, LLP.
Commissioner Arrington told WSB-TV 2 on Sunday night that a hired contractor was inside his office building at the time of the incident.
"Apparently they walked up, they were behind the office, so apparently they left a gasoline can and they left a roll of toilet tissue and I assume they had left two or three, or some amount that started the fire," Arrington said. "So hopefully they will be able to find who did this."
