Police interviewing 2 in connection with Philadelphia carjacking

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Philadelphia police say they are questioning two men concerning a carjacking and crash that left three children dead last week.

Capt. James Clark tells The Philadelphia Inquirer Sunday night that the two men were being interviewed by homicide detectives. He did not identify them.

Friday’s crash killed three siblings ages 7, 10 and 15 as they sold fruit for a church fundraiser. Their 34-year-old mother remains hospitalized along with two other women, including the carjacking victim.

Investigators say two men carjacked an SUV then crashed as they took a corner at high speed about a mile away.

A $110,000 reward is being offered for information leading to the carjackers’ capture.
