4-year-old dies after falling from window

MOLALLA, Ore. - A 4-year-old boy who fell out of a second story window at his family's home died of his injuries.

The incident happened Saturday evening at a home on Fenton Avenue in Molalla.

According to police, the family had recently moved into the home and was having a housewarming party with friends and family that night.  The boy was playing with friends in an upstairs bedroom when he fell through the screen of an open window.  A neighbor reported seeing the boy push on the screen, lose his balance and fall.  He landed on a concrete pad below.

The boy was transported by LifeFlight to the hospital where he later died.

Police would like to remind parents to keep all upper floor windows open only a few inches if they are not secured with some type of safety bars, sometimes marketed as "Window Guard."
