Christal Hayes, a reporter for the Orlando Sentinel, who is currently at the scene wrote on Twitter: ‘A lot of the crowd says the boy was on a beach area along the Seven Seas Lagoon when he was dragged in. No eye witnesses, though.’
‘I’m just here to say a prayer,’ AJ Jain, 51, who is on holiday from Georgia, told Hayes. ‘I can’t imagine what those parents are going through. It’s been one tough week in Orlando.’
