GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) - Glendale fire crews are investigating an early morning garage fire at the home of a jailed Iraqi immigrant accused of running down his daughter in what authorities call an 'honor killing.'
Glendale Fire Department spokesman Daniel Valenzuela said firefighters kept the fire from spreading to other parts of the home.
A person inside the home heard a smoke alarm, went to investigate, and notified the fire department.
At least nine people were inside the home when the fire started shortly before 4 a.m.
No injuries are reported and everyone made it out safely.
Investigators are trying to determine how the fire started and the extent of damage.
Faleh Hassan Almaleki is accused of running down his daughter and her boyfriend's mother on Oct. 20 in Peoria. Noor Faleh Almaleki died Monday. The other woman is expected to survive.
