Two men knocked on the door to an apartment in North Denver, and then attacked its occupants with a garden sprayer and flame, police told ABC News affiliate KMGH.

"Two men came to the door of the residence and said some words to the people inside then sprayed an accelerant on them and then ... set them afire," Denver police spokesman Sonny Jackson told ABC News Radio.

There are a number of extremely disturbing aspects to this- the main bit being some jury-rigged device: "A garden sprayer and flame".
