Local House Fire Kills Three, Injures One

Columbus fire officials say three people are dead and another is hospitalized following a two-alarm house fire early this morning on the far west side. Crews are dousing hot spots and searching for the cause of the blaze at a home in the 5 thousand block of Cherry Creek Parkway North near I-270. The flames broke out shortly before 3 am. Names of the victims have yet to be released, but authorities say those who died are a 16-year-old girl, her mother and her grandmother. The girl's father is hospitalized.
