Three churches have burned in less than two weeks in St. Landry Parish near Baton Rouge. The most recent fire was Thursday.

Louisiana State Fire Marshall H. Butch Browning they believe the fire is suspicious, and that a crime has occurred. The FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms have gotten involved in the investigation, but Browning says it's too early to categorize the fires as hate crimes.

The fire marshal is asking for those responsible to come forward. Browning said, don't make us hunt you down, because we will.
