Colorado authorities are investigating the tragic death of a 2-year-old.
The child fell from his father’s arms while they were on an escalator at an Aurora shopping center Sunday afternoon.
“I was in one of the shoe stores and I heard a lot of screaming,” shopper Cesar Solorazano said. “I heard a lady screaming, then out of nowhere the shop owner ran outside. He was on the phone. I heard him saying that something happened, and he couldn’t close the store because he had guests. And then he looked at me, he told me what happened, that a little kid fell off the escalator.”
The boy was taken to a local hospital with life-threatening injuries and was pronounced dead Monday.
