FREEPORT, N.Y. (CBSNewYork) — A two-alarm fire destroyed a storefront overnight in Freeport . Approximately 120 firefighters responded to a building on Guy Lombardo Avenue just after midnight. “This is my heart and soul,” said Suzzanne Serino of Duryea’s Flower Shop. She was overwhelmed with emotion hours after arranging bouquets at her family’s landmark flower shop. It was engulfed in flames. Firefighters from 10 departments tried to save the florist, a restaurant-deli and offices of a dance studio. “I’m praying God that we can still do soemthin for these holidays,” Serino said. Duryea’s has been around since 1930, located on Guy Lombardo Avenue in the heart of Freeport. The Martin family bought it 45 years ago. “Both my aunts and grandmother have given their heart and soul to this place. It’s devastating,” said Kaitlyn Martin. “Horrible. Especially around Thanksgiving, with these folks going through COVID and the impact that has had,” said Raymond Maguire of the Freeport Fire Department. The fire burned at 1,500 degrees and traveled from the florist into the deli. The pressure from the smoke was so intense the windows and doors exploded. Shattering glass from the backdraft blew into the faces of five firefighters who barely escaped serious injury. “Everyone’s safe. That’s all that matters. This can be restored – someone’s life can’t,” said deli owner Carlos Santana. “We’ll come back stronger.” Santana’s family deli served authentic Mexican fare. They are hopeful, but uncertain. “Everything, with COVID going on, makes everything that much more difficult. I wish i had the answer to what comes next,” Kaitlyn Martin said. “My family are full of fighters and our community loves us.” Already the community is embracing the business owners and vowing to help them rebuild. All five victims are expected to be OK. The cause of the fire is under investigation. MORE FROM CBS NEW YORK Stimulus Package Update: What Will A Biden Administration Mean For More Aid?

It was so difficult.” Sen. Richard Blumenthal released the following statement: “It is sad day in America, as we continue to learn more about the incident at the West Haven VA this morning. Our hearts go out to the families of those individuals who have been impacted. As a member of the Veterans’ Affairs Committee, I’ve been in contact with the director of the facility and will continue to remain in touch as more information becomes available.

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — There’s been a big break in the case of three attempted rapes in Queens . Police say the suspect is now in custody, and his stepfather helped catch him. As CBS2’s Andrea Grymes reports, there’s a huge sigh of relief for police and New Yorkers near Forest Park in Queens. (Credit: NYPD Crime Stoppers) Investigators say they’ve got the 20-year-old suspect responsible for three terrifying attacks on two women and a 14-year-old girl, all nearly raped in broad daylight. Police say the quick arrest is thanks in large part to the suspect’s stepdad. “The father taking it upon himself to call the 102 precinct on his stepson really helped us expedite getting this individual off the street sooner than later,” NYPD Chief of Detectives Rodney Harrison. Harrison says the first attack happened around 10 a.m. Thursday morning. A 20-year-old woman was on her way to work at Jamaica Avenue and 104th Street. That’s when the suspect allegedly came from behind, grabbed her buttocks, picked her up and tried to jog with her. The woman screamed and got away. Next, around 12:30 p.m., police say the suspect targeted a 14-year-old girl who was walking while FaceTiming her friend at 84th Avenue and 118th Street. “Our perpetrator came from behind, throwing our victim into the bushes, trying to pick her up and pull down her pants, at which time she screamed and our perpetrator fled off,” Harrison said. The third and final similar attack happened just minutes later, allegedly in the park near Woodhaven Boulevard and Forest Park Drive. That 24-year-old woman also screamed and got away. (Credit: NYPD Crime Stoppers) Thursday night, police released pictures of the suspect from surveillance video they found. Friday morning Harrison says the 102 precinct got a phone call. “Our perpetrator’s stepfather called, saying that he saw his [stepson] on television… that he saw the video that was shared and he threw his stepson out of the house,” Harrison said. Police stepped up patrols near the park, and by 10 a.m. picked him up at Myrtle Avenue and Memorial Drive. Chief Harrison says when cops found him, the suspect was wearing the same shorts and sneakers he was wearing during the attacks. Charges are pending. suspect’s name has not yet been released.
