A Connellsville woman is facing 12 counts of attempted homicide after she alleged set fire to the curtains of her own room in a duplex building at 603 and 605 E. Gibson Ave. on Jan. 19.
Police said Kelley Anderson, 23, endangered the lives of her 3-year-old daughter and the other residents of the building and an adjacent house at 607 E. Gibson Ave.
Anderson reportedly told police she purposely set the curtains in her room on fire because she believed the people in the home were going to kill her, and she thought doing so would save her and her daughter. According to court paperwork, she told police she jumped with her daughter out of a second story window to escape the fire she had started.
