Police added that the Arlington County Fire Department is attempting to extinguish the fire. Before the incident occurred, the police department said that it was "investigating a suspect who has discharged a flare gun from his residence." Sputnik correspondent reported later that a large number of police officers are at the scene of the incident, and the roads to the scene are blocked. There is also a strong smell of smoke in the air, the correspondent added. Officials told reporters that until the fire is extinguished, it is impossible to determine whether anyone died in the incident. They also stated that it is still not clear which part of the building is destroyed, the correspondent said.
