Omaha Police Say Teen Set Himself On Fire

omaha-police(AP) — Authorities say a 16-year-old boy has been hospitalized after setting himself on fire outside an Omaha home.

The Omaha Police Department says it received a report Tuesday night about a teen who doused himself with an accelerant and set himself on fire.

A police report indicates the boy set himself on fire outside his ex-girlfriend’s home. Witnesses told police they saw the boy and girl first arguing at another location.

Police say the boy, whose name has not been released, was taken to a local hospital with injuries that were life-threatening. Additional information about his condition is not available.
