FULSHEAR, Texas — A man was charged with attempted murder after police say he intentionally set a house fire with his three children inside.
Pedro Luis Parra Pulgar, 46, faces three attempted murder charges after the incident on Nov. 6. First responders showed up to the house on El Dorado Boulevard in Fulshear around 10 a.m. after getting a call from a neighbor who reported a fire at the back of a house.

Two children were able to get out of the house, escaping the fire with minor injuries. A 3-year-old was trapped inside. Police entered the bedroom and rescued the child. That child was airlifted to a hospital for treatment and was later released.
Pulgar was also severely injured in the fire. He was released from the hospital Thursday and transported to the Fort Bend County Jail.
Judge Argie Brame set his bond at $2.25 million, $750,000 for each attempted murder charge.
