Rescue workers shot at while responding to fire
INDEPENDENCE, Ky. (AP) — Police and firefighters were shot at when they arrived at a burning Kentucky home where they found three family members dead inside and a toddler wandering outside, police said Wednesday.
Police and firefighters came under fire around 10 p.m. on Tuesday when they arrived at the family's two-story brick home in the tidy, middle-class Freedom Park neighborhood of Independence, Ky., located about 17 miles south of Cincinnati. No responders were injured. It wasn't clear if police returned fire.
The dead were identified as Seaward Padilla, 43; his wife, Lori Padilla, 45; and their daughter, Jessica Padilla, 22. It wasn't clear how they died; autopsies were expected to be completed on Thursday.
