A 25-year-old Florida man has been arrested for intentionally setting a fire that killed four people and three dogs in the early morning hours of Wednesday.

Shawn Gossett has been charged with four counts of first degree murder, three counts of cruelty to animals, and a single county of arson, the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office said.

The call about the fire came in just after midnight. Hillsborough County Fire Rescue found four dead adults as they were working to extinguish the blaze.

Gossett, a US citizen who lived at the home, was arrested just hours later.

“This is an utterly senseless and horrific crime where four innocent lives were tragically taken due to the evil actions of this man,” said Sheriff Chad Chronister.

The names of the victims have not been released. Gossett is being held without bond pending a hearing.
