A woman who may have been caught on camera lighting a yeshiva on fire last Thursday in Brooklyn's  Flatbush neighborhood has been arrested. She was later charged with reckless endangerment as a hate crime and arson.

The suspected perpetrator, 39-year-old Brooklyn resident Sharee Jones, had allegedly been recorded by a surveillance camera at a nearby convenience store dressed in all black and seemingly purchasing a red gasoline can. She then proceeded to approach the yeshiva, douse the surrounding area in gasoline, and set it on fire.

Luckily, one of the school's security guards on location at the time had witnessed what had taken place and managed to put out the fire with water, leaving no casualties or wounded behind in this incident. However, it has left the area, home to one of the greatest communities of Holocaust survivors outside of Israel, deeply unsettled.
