The Gun Of Bavaria Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 This happened today in the town my department borders. Absolute Nightmare. http://www.clickondetroit.com/news/12181955/detail.html Kindergartner Killed After Flagpole Topples Over High winds toppled a flagpole at an elementary school in Ferndale Monday, striking and killing a kindergartner. The accident happened at Roosevelt Primary School in the Ferndale School District. Stephanie Hall, a district spokeswoman, said no others were hurt in the accident. A group of kindergartners were playing in an interior courtyard that is set up just for kindergartners. There were about 15 children playing in the yard at the time, and a big gust of wind forced a flagpole to snap in half. The other children were taken inside the school, but one little girl was struck by the flagpole, according to school officials. School officials rushed to child's side and said they comforted her until emergency crews arrived. She was transported to a nearby hospital where she was pronounced dead.
