Two young children were killed when their house blew up in the small Missouri town of Defiance.
They were at home because their school had canceled classes because it was so cold.
The children, Julian Keiser (4 years old) and Jamison Keiser (6 years old), died early Friday morning before they could get out of their burning home near Highway 94 just outside of St. Louis or be saved.
Officials and a GoFundMe page say that their mom, Evelyn Turpiano, and grandparents, Jennifer and Vern Ham, were able to get away and get to safety.
A neighbor named Sharon Oberlag told the news source, “They were the nicest little boys.” “They were so cute, and they thought school was the coolest thing ever.”
