BP gas station fire under investigation in Detroit
DETROIT, Mich. (CBS DETROIT) - A BP gas station fire is under investigation, the Detroit Fire Department said.
The fire started around 3 a.m. Thursday in the 2600 block of E. Jefferson.
A suspect entered the gas station and set it on fire after an argument, according to the Detroit Police Department. He was last seen fleeing the scene, police said.
An attendant was inside at the time of the fire, the fire department said.
No one was hurt, but there was substantial damage, according to the fire department.
Davonte Griffin, who has lived in the area for over 20 years, told CBS News Detroit that he visited the store days ago.
"It's kind of sad because this gas station has been around here for a long time, just about as long as I've been here," Griffin said.
Some shoppers believe the realities of America may have caused the excessive reaction.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.
"The tension around the world is just high because of all this inflation going on," he said.
