Reuters - Two children
were killed early on Saturday in a home invasion in a small Georgia city,
police said.
An 15-year-old
boy and his 11-year-old sister were found shot dead in a house in Jonesboro, a
city of fewer than 5,000 residents about 20 miles south of Atlanta, according
to Sergeant Ashanti Marbury of the Clayton County Police Department.
Police
received an emergency call at 5 a.m. from the house reporting that someone had
broken in and that shots had been fired inside the home.
In addition to
the two dead children, officers also found several other children as young as 6
in the house, Marbury said.
No adults were
home at the time. The parents of the two victims have been notified and are not
considered suspects, Marbury said.
No suspects
have been identified. The initial investigation suggests the home invasion was
not random, but detectives are still working to determine why the house was
targeted, Marbury said.
