Insurance Company Alleges Owners Set Fire To Shooting Center

A federal lawsuit filed Friday by a Pennsylvania insurance company claims that a fire that extensively damaged the Springfield Shooting Center last year was intentionally set by owners John and Kathryn Jackson, or their representatives. In laying out its argument as to why the Tokio Marine Specialty Insurance Company did not have to cover the Jacksons’ $1.625 million insurance claim, it alleged the Sept. 6 blaze was “incendiary and/or arson” and not necessarily the result of a burglar covering his or her tracks, as initially suspected.
