Around 0300 last night we we startled by a loud boom that shook our towmhouse followed by what sounded like gunfire. With Los Colinas (Women's Detentional Facility) a couple blocks away, we weren't sure what was going on. I called the Sheriff's department and spoke with the dispatcher and gave her my info and she asked if I was calling about the car fire in the complex and at that point we ran outside to see three units in flames.
Not the best pictures as I didn't grab my tripod for some reason.
