A Maryland woman was arrested and charged with attempted murder and arson after setting fire to a home she was living in during a domestic dispute.
Gail Metwally was seen arguing with a man in a video taken by bystanders after her clothes were thrown outside. From there, Metwally was seen lighting a trash can on fire in the house and sitting in a lawn chair as the house went up in flames. The people videotaping the incident can be heard trying to figure out the address to call the fire department, which showed up when the house was completely engulfed in flames. The bystanders also helped rescue a woman trapped in the basement screaming for help.
Metwally was charged with 1st and 2nd Degree Attempted Murder, 1st Degree Arson, 1st Degree Assault, two counts of Malicious Burning 1st Degree, two counts of Malicious Destruction of Property, and two counts of Reckless Endangerment. She is currently being held at the Cecil County Detention Center, pending a District Court Commissioner hearing.
