The grandmother reported the attack to a local fire department around 10:35 a.m.

Was someone or something on fire? Would it have been better to call an ambulance maybe?

Why is it that most people in this country have an almost inability to think for themselves? If that was my house right next to the train tracks, I'm sure I would have erected some form of my own barrier/fence to keep my children safe.
