Officials are warning Maine residents about ice safety after a father died saving his son on Friday from a frozen pond.
On the morning of Jan. 26, Kevin Howell, 51, and his 4-year-old son fell through ice as they were crossing Etna Pond in Carmel, Maine, the Penobscot County Sheriff's Office said in a news release. Howell was able to get his son out of the frozen pond and told him to get his mother, the sheriff's office said.
His son was able to reach their home, 1/3 of a mile from the pond, and inform his mother, according to the sheriff's office. "The mom told the young boy to stay at home, she called 911, and she rushed to help her husband," the sheriff's office said.

Robert Morris, founding pastor of Gateway Church, a megachurch in Southlake, Texas, has been indicted on five counts of lewd or indecent acts with a child, stemming from alleged incidents dating back to the 1980s, the Oklahoma attorney general's office announced Wednesday. We are aware of the actions being taken by the legal authorities in Oklahoma and are grateful for the work of the justice system in holding abusers accountable for their actions. We continue to pray for Cindy Clemishire and her family, for the members and staff of Gateway Church, and for all of those impacted by this terrible situation.
