A tree in the back of the West Lincoln Street home had uprooted and landed on a 61-year-old male and his 6-month-old grandson at approximately 7 p.m., Verona Police Chief Christopher Kiernan said. Both died as a result of their injuries.
"The Verona Police, Fire and Rescue Squad's thoughts are focused on the family during this difficult and unfathomable tragic time," Kiernan added. "Please keep this family in your prayers."
