SAN ANTONIO (AP) — A fire at a San Antonio group home for the mentally disabled has left three male residents dead and one critically hurt.

Arson investigators were at the scene Thursday in an attempt to determine what started the house fire.

San Antonio Fire Department spokesman Christian Bove (BOHV) says a neighbor called 911 Wednesday night after seeing smoke and flames. Bove says the group caretaker and nine residents escaped unharmed.

Bove says the four victims were located on the second floor of the house. One man was dead at the scene, while two others were dead on arrival at a hospital.

Bove had no other details on the critically injured man, who remains hospitalized.

Names of the victims have not been released.
