Neighbors and loved ones across the area are struggling to wrap their heads around the tragic loss of the 36-year-old mother and her infant son.
It all started around 10:30 p.m. when frantic emergency calls brought Waterford police officers and local fire department crews rushing straight to the apartment complex.
Paramedics immediately jumped into action right there on the scene, doing everything humanly possible to revive the mother and her baby before loading them into separate ambulances.
