COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) Two young children, a brother and sister, died after they were pulled from a family pool in Ohio, authorities said.
Columbus police dispatchers said emergency responders were called to the home at about 8:30 p.m. Friday.
The Columbus Dispatch reported that a 2-year-old boy was found at the bottom of the pool and his 4-year-old sister was found in the pool shortly afterward.
Police say one child was taken to Nationwide Children’s Hospital and the other to Mount Carmel East hospital, both in critical condition. Both were later pronounced dead.
… A neighbor who saw paramedics take the victims to the hospital said all the victims were children, celebrating a birthday party in a garage nearby.
Rashad Bolden lives two doors down from where the shooting took place, and he told WWLTV’s Paul Dudley he was home when the shooting happened Saturday night. …
“Everybody I saw taken to the ambulance they were all kids,” Bolden said. “I looked out my window and saw a whole bunch of people scurrying, so I came outside.”
Bolden said he believes the shooter was also a child.
“For someone to just shoot into the garage full of kids, that’s kind of heartless,” Bolden said. “You want to call it heartless, but you know they are not old enough to know what heartless is.”
