Andrew Michael Alvarez, 29, is charged with two counts of second-degree attempted murder and one count of first-degree arson in connection to the June 2 incident.

Two Saint Paul police officers and one resident were treated for smoke inhalation after a fire broke out in a mixed-use apartment building Saturday morning.

Three separate house fires in Minneapolis within a 24-hour span displaced multiple residents, left all three homes uninhabitable, and sent one person to the hospital for possible smoke inhalation.

Just after 5:30 a.m., Woodbury Public Safety was dispatched to the 9000 block of Pinehurst Road on a report of a house fire. Responders arrived to find the home fully engulfed in flames.

A man inside the residence was transported to the hospital by a private party before officers arrived. Investigators determined he had been assaulted prior to the fire and had a severe head injury.

Callers also reported hearing a loud noise resembling an explosion. Upon arrival, firefighters encountered heavy flames visible on three sides of the home and located a woman outside lying near the street.

An aircraft crashed into a home in Brooklyn Park early Saturday afternoon, igniting a large fire and prompting a widespread emergency response.

The victim told police that her husband was under the influence of drugs and had shot her earlier that morning with an AK-47-style rifle during an argument.

Firefighters responded to the 7400 block of North Street just before midnight and arrived to find heavy flames coming from the rear of the house. The fire escalated to a second alarm, prompting additional resources from Hopkins.

When firefighters arrived, heavy fire was seen from the back of the house. Crews applied water on the fire and searched the home, but the flames had already spread from the second floor up into the walls, the third floor, and the attic.

Upon arrival, deputies found the home engulfed in flames. Fire crews worked to control the blaze and later discovered the two deceased individuals inside.

Deputies and firefighters were dispatched just before 7 a.m. to a home in the 3500 block of County Road 119 after a woman reported the house was on fire and that she couldn’t find her husband.
