Four children, including an infant, were killed in a fire in Georgia Tuesday night.

This happened in a duplex in Conyers, just east of Atlanta.

Three boys and one girl, ages infant to seven years old, were killed.

The victims’ mother, grandmother, and a five year old boy managed to escape.

The mother suffered severe burns.

“She was able to save one of the children, a little five-year-old.  Witnesses said that she actually threw that child from a second-story window,” said Conyers Police Major Mike Waters.

The cause of the fire is under investigation.
