A man has apparently set himself on fire at the National Mall in D.C., another strange occurrence after yesterday’s chase and killing of a mother by police.
This is how initial AP dispatches are reporting this still developing story..
A fire official says a man has been flown to the hospital after setting himself on fire on the National Mall.
Fire crews responded Friday afternoon to a report of a man on fire at 7th and Madison streets. A witness says she saw a man dump a red canister of gasoline on his head and then set himself on fire.
D.C. Fire Department spokesman Tim Wilson says the man has life-threatening injuries.
