Arson Set At Creekside Elementary School In Moreno Valley
MORENO VALLEY (CBS) — An arson was set at Creekside Elementary in Moreno Valley but firefighters said they contained the blaze inside a second grade classroom.
Amanda Burden, reporting for KCAL9 and CBS2, said one suspect was in custody. Officials are looking for another suspect.
The suspect in custody is described as a juvenile.
The fire was reported just after 6:30 Sunday evening.
When deputies arrived on scene, they found a broken window, smoke billowing out of a rear window and two youths fleeing.
The school is located in the 13000 block of Heacock Street.
Firefighters told Burden they were aided in fighting the fire because the school was not open for business and no one had to be evacuated.
Burden also reports school will be open Monday.
