BILOXI, Miss. (AP) — John Russelman was getting ready for work before dawn when he saw a bright light through the window and realized a fire was raging at his Biloxi apartment building. Russelman didn’t know it then, but he was the victim of an arson attack.

A fire upended the lives of the three disabled veterans living at Rodenberg Apartments, who lost virtually all their worldly possessions. More than two months later, the three men still have no idea when theyll have a place to call home again.
