Connor Ehlers suffered a lacerated head, among other injuries, and
was in fair condition, hospital officials said. The boy fell
Wednesday night from his apartment window, apparently after pushing
against the window screen, Police Chief Kim Wadding said.
"Right now we don't see anything more than a real tragic
accident," Wadding said.
Toya Broaden, who lives on the second floor of the Bishop Block
Apartments, said she was in her apartment about 8 p.m. Wednesday
when she heard something hit her windowsill. She looked out and saw
the child lying on the sidewalk.

Her sister Tanae said she went upstairs and told the boy's mother
what happened, then accompanied her to the street, where emergency
vehicles had already arrived.
"Somebody was watching over that baby," Tanae Broaden said.
