Police Save Family After Baseball Invades Home Through Closed Window
Police responded to a frantic 911 call from the father of a local family after their home was invaded by what appeared to be a baseball. Arriving on the scene, police found the family hiding under some Christmas decorations in their basement. Dwayne Brainard 38, Thelma Brainard 35, and two children Sasha Brainard 9 and Thaddeus Brainard 13 were rushed to a local trauma center for treatment. Doctors do not yet know if a full recovery is possible but remain hopeful.
Reached at his bedside for comment, Mr Brainard said he and his family were inside their home at approximately 3PM when they heard the crash. 'We were sitting there sorting our dryer lint when there was this loud crash as the object came through the window and then a thunk as it hit the floor'. Mr Brainard quickly gathered his family and got them to the basement for safety. Said Mr Brainard 'I know it looked like baseball, but I've heard that hand gernades looks similar, and you know, you never can tell. Plus I wasn't sure if there were more outside trying to get in.'
The family made it to their basement and hid. Then Mr Brainard called 911 on his cell. After that, the family spent the next 9 minutes in absolute terror, unsure if they would make it out alive. When reached at here bedside for a comment, Mrs Brainard could only mumble repeatedly 'The window. It came through the window.' A Kickstarter fund has been set up for those wishing to donate to the family and a candle light vigil is planned for later this week. Police have no leads at this time as to where the baseball came from nor what its true motives were.
