Man sets self on fire inside store

ALBUQUERQUE (KRQE) - Imagine the horror for shoppers when they saw a man set himself on fire inside an Albuquerque home-improvement store.

Albuquerque police say the 45-year-old man doused himself in a flammable liquid Tuesday afternoon inside the Lowe's store on Paseo del Norte NE.

He then set himself on fire.

A Lowe's employee threw water on the manto put out the flames. The unidentified man suffered burns to his face and arms.

It's not yet clear what motivated the man to self-immolate.
