Child among those dead from Tuesday’s deadly tornadoes

At least one child, age 11, was killed along with her parents in Arkansas from trauma as a tornado hit their home. So far, death totals are at least 44.

ATKINS, Arkansas — Authorities went door-to-door early Wednesday searching for more victims of deadly tornadoes that ripped the roof off a shopping mall, pummeled mobile homes and blew apart warehouses as they tore across four states. At least 44 people were reported dead throughout the South.

The victims included 24 people in Tennessee, 13 in Arkansas, and seven in Kentucky, emergency officials said. Among those killed were Arkansas parents who died with their 11-year-old in Atkins, about 60 miles northwest of Little Rock.
