The Harnett County Sheriff’s Office is searching for three suspects who poured gasoline on a woman and set her on fire.
The shooting was reported between 5 a.m. and 5:30 a.m. along the U.S. 421 Bypass just east of Sanford in Lee County, officials said.
The house burned down while she was cooking for the Bread of Life Ministries where she volunteers, the homeowner says.
Sanford and Lee County are a major target for residential developers. Home prices are up double-digits from 2023.
