Some residents jumped from their windows to escape flames as a fire ripped through a suburban Chicago apartment building early Sunday, leaving six dead and a dozen others injured. At least 35 people lived in the three-story building in suburban Aurora, where the fire started about 4 a.m. Sunday, city public information officer Dan Ferrelli said in a statement. Three of those killed were children. Several residents said they were forced to jump from their windows as the fire tore through their apartments.
