ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) - Police say an 11-month-old girl has died
after falling from the window of a ninth-floor apartment in St.
Paul.
Anthony Parker was outside with his two young daughters at a
playground below the 24-story high-rise Tuesday night and saw
several children "leaning back and forth" out of an apartment
window.
Parker says the children, about 7 to 10 years old, were laughing and giggling.
He says the window screen was torn. Parker says seconds later he heard a
"loud smack" and the baby was unconscious on the ground. He says the children
in the window began screaming and crying.
Police arrived at the apartment building about 7:20 p.m. The
girl died shortly after she was rushed to Regions Hospital in St.
Paul.
