Witnesses said they saw three children running from the scene, but they were never found.

The church turned over the property to Habitat for Humanity.

"We plan to build 7 or 8 homes on that site, so we're very excited about that," said Jane Dunbar with Habitat for Humanity.

Habitat has already built 28 new homes in that neighborhood.
