GA:  Atlanta fire officials said that a “firebomb” was thrown into the  law office of Arrington & Phillips, LLP. at number 2200 Fairburn Road yesterday.

Fire crews were called to the building and a fire was extinguished.  There were no reported injuries. The address is listed as the office for Arrington & Phillips, LLP. One of the partners, Marvin S. Arrington Jr., is also the Fulton County commissioner representing District 5.

 Commissioner Arrington confirmed that his office was the target of the attack, according to WSB- TV, Channel 2 investigative reporter.

Arrington said a hired contractor was inside the building at the time of the attack.

“Apparently they walked up, they were behind the office, so apparently they left a gasoline can and they left a roll of toilet tissue and I assume they had left two or three, or some amount that started the fire,” Arrington told Lincoln. “So hopefully they will be able to find who did this.

Arrington said he didn’t know why his law office would have been targeted. He says they haven’t had any threats made or vandalism done to the property before.

The case is still under investigation.
