(Reuters) - A 5-year-old boy suffered life-threatening injuries on Friday after being thrown or pushed by an apparent stranger from a third-floor balcony at Minnesota’s Mall of America, and a man who fled the scene has been charged with attempted homicide, police said.
The child was rushed to a hospital after officers and passersby provided aid at the scene, Bloomington Police Chief Jeff Potts said. His condition was not immediately known.
Shortly after the incident, police arrested a 24-year-old man inside the mall, one of the state’s leading tourist attractions, after he had fled the scene, Potts said.
The suspect, Emmanuel Deshawn Aranda, who is from the area, was charged with attempted homicide, police said in a statement.

Why do you say this? Who is reporting this?
Look at the source of the headline...They refuse to say anything bad about a minority person evidently...
Excellent analogy.
What ???? I heard he was in stable condition.

Me, too - I think it was on Fox and Friends.
He’s not been confirmed dead. None of the media outlets in the Twin Cities are reporting that news.
The Freeper who posted that he died hasn’t returned to tell us their source.
I saw that.
I have asked to have the post removed.
True, but we all knew.....
I appreciate that. Thank you!
Don't kid yourself. His racial brethren in prison will all slap him a high-five for killing a white boy.
I hope it happens before too many others read it.
I really need to develop the habit of reading ahead. Maybe I’m too trusting that facts are being stated.
That’s what I’m afraid of.
Still, he has God to stand before some day, and God isn’t going to high five him.
It’s so frustrating to see the miscarriage of justice that has pervaded our country. It’s hard to console ourselves with the thought of his future judgment.
I asked earlier if he had died...The reason was I heard on local news this morning a memorial is being set up...The reporter may have misspoke and was referring to the “Go Fund Me...I don’t know....
I hear you. I’ve done the same thing. I always assume fellow FReepers are well informed and not prone to rumors. Sometimes it’s just not the case. Been there, done that.
Your misunderstanding was completely understandable.
A memorial certainly does imply passing.
The GoFundMe page that the reporter may have been referring to, doesn’t.
Yeah...The reporter used the word “memorial”...
There’s a huge pile of stuffed animals people have dropped off at the mall where the poor little guy landed. I think someone must have misspoke on seeing that calling it a memorial.
That very well could be...Thanks...
Where is Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton on this...
*crickets*
