A young child was killed, and several other children were injured during a baseball game Friday night in Waldorf, Maryland, when a gust of wind caused a bounce house to go airborne while they were inside playing.
It happened during a Southern Maryland Blue Crabs game. First responders were immediately dispatched to the stadium after the incident, Charles County officials said in a press release.
The wind caused the bounce house to be carried about 15 to 20 feet up in the air, causing children to fall before it landed on the playing field, officials said.
One of the children, identified by several members of his community as Declan Hicks, 5, of La Plata, was transported to a local hospital with life-threatening injuries. He was later pronounced dead at the hospital.
