UPDATED: East Dallas apartment complex burns (again)

This is the other side of my fence. Was a crazy scene with three choppers hovering overhead, blocked streets, etc.

To be clear, it was a different woman charged in the last fire.

From a neighborhood newsletter on 6/22/09 (ie: prior to this fire)

<i>Homicide detectives are investigating a shooting that was reported Monday morning at the Millennium Pointe apartments in Far East Dallas. The unidentified victim — a 24-year-old woman — was found with a gunshot wound to her chest after shots were heard in the 2900 block of Dilido Road. Witnesses said the victim and another person had been arguing before the gunfire erupted. A Dallas Fire-Rescue ambulance took the patient to Baylor University Medical Center for treatment. The woman was said to have been seriously injured, but her condition was not available. Police also found a sport utility vehicle crashed into a fence in the apartment's parking lot near the shooting scene. No suspects were in custody.

The Millennium Pointe apartments were also the scene of a $500,000 fire less than a month ago. A tenant was later charged with intentionally setting the fire to collect benefits from the Red Cross. There was another fire at the complex in March, 2008. </i>
