DENVER (AP) - Police are searching for two men who used a pump sprayer to douse four people with a flammable liquid at a Denver apartment then set them on fire.

One woman was seriously injured in the attack that rattled the Sunnyside neighborhood Thursday night. Police spokesman Sonny Jackson said a woman who answered the door was sprayed and set afire. The men then set fire to two men and another woman inside the home.

The woman at the door was hospitalized in serious condition. The other three victims suffered minor injuries.

Jackson told The Denver Post that a motive has not been determined.

Denver's KMGH-TV reported police were investigating a check cashing store robbery earlier Thursday in which two men used a flammable liquid to set a small fire at a customer service window.
