A tragedy has occurred involving the deaths of multiple children after a bouncy castle was lifted 33 feet into the air by wind in Australia, according to Tasmania Police. At least five children have died and four others are in critical condition as of Thursday [Australia time], the Associated Press reported. “On a day where these children were meant to be celebrating their last day at primary school, instead we are all mourning their loss,” Commissioner Darren Hine said in a statement on Tasmania Police’s website. Hine said among the children who lost their lives were “two boys and two girls in year 6, which would make them 10 or 11 years old,” according to the AP. Hine said the fifth child died in the hospital. The incident took place at Hillcrest Primary School in Devonport, Tasmania, Australia. Fox News has requested comment from Hillcrest Primary School as well as Tasmania Police. “Our hearts are breaking for those affected by the Hillcrest Primary School incident today. Taken too soon,” Tasmania Police wrote on Facebook Wednesday, offering phone numbers to 24-hour mental health counseling hotlines.
