The Tucson Fire Department says someone deliberately set a barber shop on fire. The fire was reported Sunday night in the midtown area. Residents living along east 9th Street reported seeing flames shooting from a building at a strip mall.

KOLD-TV reports firefighters arrived on the scene and saw flames and smoke inside the building. Crews searched the shop, along with two businesses at the strip mall, but didn’t find anyone inside.

Damage is estimated at between $50,000 and $75,000.
