12 dead in fast-moving New York City apartment fire

NEW YORK (AP) — The deadliest residential fire to hit New York City in at least a quarter century swept through a Bronx apartment building Thursday on one of the coldest nights so far this winter, killing 12 people and leaving four more fighting for their lives, city officials said.
The dead included a child around a year old, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio said during a briefing outside the building.
“We may lose others as well,” he added.
