Fire breaks out at home where Lamar CISD employee was killed last weekend
SUMMARY: In Fort Bend County, a house that caught fire overnight is the same residence where Lamar CISD educator Iona Pard was allegedly shot and killed by her husband David Pard, a district employee, just days earlier. The fire broke out on Rocky Lane, with neighbors reporting popping sounds before flames erupted. Firefighters responded, but the cause of the blaze is still under investigation. David Pard, arrested following the shooting, remains in jail on a $300,000 bond and is scheduled for a bond reduction hearing. The situation is shocking to neighbors, raising numerous questions about the events at the property.

This comes nearly a week after David Pollard, 47, is accused of shooting and killing his wife, 52-year-old Iona Pollard, at the home on Sunday, Feb. 9.
