KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) – Kansas City police are looking for two teenagers who a 13-year-old boy says followed him home from school
and started a gasoline fire that burned his face and hair.

Detective Stacey Taylor says the boy suffered first-degree burns but no permanent damage in the incident Tuesday afternoon.

Taylor says one of the assailants picked up a gasoline can on the porch of the boy’s home while the other kept the boy from going inside.

Some of the gasoline spilled during a struggle, and the boy says one of the attackers said “this is what you get” before lighting the spilled fuel.

Taylor says the case is not being treated as a hate crime.
