KANSAS CITY, Mo. — An investigation has been launched after the home of two officers was set on fire Nov. 20.
According to WDAF, Sgt. Geremy Pearce received a call that his home was on fire while working the overnight shift. He shares the residence with his girlfriend, who is an officer at a different department.
“It was probably the longest, quickest drive home that I’ve ever had, and just trying to figure out what’s going on and make sure everybody was okay,” Pearce told the news station.
Investigators said the fire is suspicious and they’re looking into possible arson.
Pearce said he believes his house was targeted because both he and his girlfriend are officers.
“It’s very discouraging that people would go to this extent to reach out and try and harm law enforcement,” Harrisonville Police Chief John Hofer told KMBC.
Everyone made it out of the house safely. No arrests have been made.
