Nice, France: An apartment building blaze early Thursday killed seven people in the southern French city of Nice and police were investigating the fire as a possible arson, authorities said.
The dead include three children -- 5, 7 and 10 years old -- and a 17-year-old who tried to escape by jumping from a window, they added.
The apartment was occupied by a family believed to have Comoran origins, the regional prefect Hugues Moutouh said, referring to the southern African island nation.
Ten people were inside when the fire broke out.
Rescuers were alerted at around 2:30 am (0030 GMT) to the blaze on the seventh floor of the building in the low-income neighbourhood of Les Moulins.
