Authorities in Texas are investigating after three-year-old twin girls drowned in an apartment complex pool Wednesday.
Sherman Police said the twins were unresponsive when discovered in the swimming pool at the Ridgeview Apartment off West Washington Street where their family lives.
“Two small children somehow were able to get into the pool,” Lt. Kevin Garbacik said.
“Maintenance found them in the pool. They were already underwater. Maintenance was able to pull them out and start recovery efforts with them.”
“At this time, the two children have expired. They did not make it.”
Eyewitness Carrie Curry recalled seeing complex staff, Police, and EMS rushing to the scene.
“This is a sad moment. This is so sad, and it’s a prayful moment. We need to pray for our children. We really do, take care of your babies,” she said.
