Community mourns 5 children killed in Arizona house fire, cause under investigation

BULLHEAD CITY, Ariz. (AP) — Authorities have yet to determine what caused a house fire in northwestern Arizona that left five children dead. Bullhead City police say the fire broke out Saturday evening while the father of four of the victims was away buying groceries and Christmas gifts. The dead included a 4-year-old girl and three brothers ages 2, 5 and 13. An 11-year-old boy who was a relative and visiting at the time also died. The blaze has shaken the close-knit community near the Colorado River and the Nevada border. Bouquets of flowers and stuffed animals now line a chainlink fence erected outside the home. A vigil is planned for Wednesday.
