3-year-old boy killed in fire

• Aaron Wilson Dishong, 62, set fire to a home where he thought his ex-girlfriend was
• A mother and her two children were inside
• 3-year-old boy died; mother and daughter, 2, jumped from the window

ALTOONA, Pa. (AP) — Police say a little boy is dead after a man set fire to a family's Pennsylvania home thinking his ex-girlfriend was inside.

Altoona police say 62-year-old Aaron Wilson Dishong set the fire in an attempt to kill his ex but only two young children and their mother were inside.

Three-year-old Daryl Etchison Jr. was killed in the blaze. Authorities say his mother jumped from a third-floor window to save herself and her 2-year-old daughter.

Dishong allegedly incriminated himself during a phone call with a witness that was monitored by police. Investigators say he had been stalking his ex-girlfriend, who had a restraining order against him.

Dishong was jailed Thursday night on homicide, arson and related charges. He denied setting the fire following his arraignment.

Etchison's mother remains hospitalized.
