Neighbors recall trying to save woman killed in house fire
“This time, we heard help, help,” Janet Powell, a neighbor said.
News4 spoke with Janet and Tommy Powell, who live next door. Janet called 911 while Tommy tried to break down the front door.
“Just hoping that Deborah had got out of the chair and made it somewhere in the house where I could kind of get her out,” Tommy Powell, a neighbor, said.
Metro police identified 67-year-old Deborah Schneider as the woman who died in the Wednesday night fire. A pet also died.
The Powells said her husband, Larry, made it out covered in soot and is still in the hospital.

They should be in prison. When I hear some people calling for such a man to be commissioner of police. It makes me wonder. He should be serving life in imprisonment as we speak. - Floyd Farquharson
The only time we will stop killing each other is when the white man says he is upset about it. We have no regards for each other’s life, and the irony is, it’s the same white man taught us to hate each other and respect and love only him. What a bind we are in.
