3 elementary students drown in frozen Texas pond

A community in Texas is mourning the death of three elementary students who drowned in an icy pond.

Here in the newsroom, I just got horrific details about 3 children elementary age drowning allegedly in an icy pond in Bonham, Texas. I got *** letter that was sent to the families in that school district of Bonham ISD, and this is what it says, essentially saying that they are. Devastated by the tragic passing of 3 elementary students, the children have not yet been identified. We don’t know if they were friends or how they knew each other. We are expecting more information from authorities down in Texas tomorrow, Tuesday, on the tragic drowning of 3 children elementary age in the area of Bonham, Texas.
