The man did not give his name when he visited the lounge.

Jasim was eating breakfast at the coffee shop Rendezvous when the incident occurred.

"I saw smoke near Shift and went to go check it out and realized it was my shop." Jasim said, referring to the restaurant he shares a building with.

Jasim said the suspect might have entered the building by picking the lock since there was no sign of forced entry such as a broken door or window.

Phyllis Hogan, owner of Winter Sun Trading Company, said the incident at Maktoob is not typical of Flagstaff.

"This is just devastating," Hogan said. "I have never seen anything like this since I moved here and this is not the type of environment I want my grandkids to grow up in."

Members of the community are looking to help fix the Hookah Lounge. A Gofundme account created by James R. Holeman has received $2,000 out of its $1,000 goal and the donation window is now closed.

The building's owner John Running did not wish to comment about the incident.

Police declined to give more details on the incident, citing an ongoing investigation.
