A heart-wrenching tragedy has struck a Texas community after twin toddlers were killed in an alleged hit-and-run incident. The two-year-old boys, identified as Kaden and Kyler Inman, were struck by a vehicle while playing near their home in Fort Worth.
According to police reports, the driver fled the scene, leaving the children fatally injured. Their mother, who witnessed the horrific event, desperately tried to save them, but both boys succumbed to their injuries.
Community in Mourning
The tight-knit neighbourhood has been left in shock, with friends and family gathering to pay tribute to the young brothers. A makeshift memorial of flowers and toys has grown at the scene as locals express their grief and outrage.
Police Hunt for Suspect
Authorities have launched a manhunt for the driver, described as operating a dark-coloured SUV. Investigators are appealing for witnesses and any dashcam footage that might lead to an arrest. "This was a senseless tragedy," said Fort Worth Police Chief. "We will not rest until we find who's responsible."
A Mother's Anguish
The boys' mother, still recovering from her own injuries, spoke briefly to reporters: "They were my whole world. I just want justice for my babies." The family has set up a GoFundMe to cover funeral expenses, which has seen an outpouring of support.
This tragic incident has reignited discussions about road safety in residential areas, with local councillors promising to review speed limits and pedestrian crossings.
