Two boys were charged with setting a three-alarm fire that caused heavy damage to a church in Dundalk, Md., the Associated Press reported.
Baltimore County fire officials said Monday that the boys, aged 13 and 12, broke into a shed last week behind Pleasant Zion Baptist Church. One boy poured gasoline and the other used a lighter to start the fire.

Both boys are charged with second-degree arson, second-degree burglary, destruction of property and reckless endangerment. Officials said more charges may be filed against other suspects.
