SHREVEPORT, La. (AP) — Police say one child is dead and one is hospitalized with life-threatening injuries after they were pulled from Cross Lake in northwest Louisiana. A Shreveport police spokeswoman told reporters that investigators believe the children were thrown from a bridge. Police say a suspect in the case is in custody. The woman was driving a minivan with Texas license plates and was stopped and arrested near the Texas state line.
