Two young children are dead after a fire in an Indiana apartment building Sunday afternoon, according to media reports.
On Sunday night, the Lake County coroner identified four-year-old Khristopher Gober and two-year-old Kailani Gober as the two victims in the fatal fire, which tore through the building.
Both children had been brought to Gary Methodist Northlake Hospital, and both were pronounced dead within minutes of one another.
Neighbors say that the two children were left home alone in the upstairs apartment.
Authorities also say that an 8-year-old boy jumped from the fourth floor of the building, and was caught by neighbors holding blankets. The boy survived the fire and was uninjured, according to the boy's mother.
The fire started on Sunday morning in the building, but officials have yet to determine what caused the blaze. Firefighters battled the flames for more than four hours.
The paper says that 113 people were displaced by the blaze, which took place in the 5800 block of Forest Court in Gary.
