Grandmother, Grandson Killed In Quincy Fire
QUINCY (CBS/AP) — Authorities have identified a grandmother and her grandson killed when an early morning fire swept through a home in Quincy over the weekend.
The Norfolk district attorney's office says 67-year-old Thelma Powers and 19-year-old William Powers were killed in the fire early Sunday morning on Bell Street.
Firefighters found Thelma Powers in the kitchen and her grandson in an upstairs hallway.
Officials say William's father, Michael Powers, jumped from a window. He was taken to the hospital with multiple injuries.
A GoFundMe page has been set up for him and his family.
Authorities haven't determined whether the home had functioning smoke alarms.
There's no word yet on what caused the fire.
