From Times Wire Reports
A schoolteacher stepped forward and admitted she was the hit-and-run driver who apparently struck four children as they crossed the street in Tampa. Two of the youngsters died.
In an apology addressed to the children’s mother, 28-year-old Jennifer Porter said at a news conference: “I wish there was something I could say to ease your pain. I know there is nothing I can do to bring your precious sons back.”
Her lawyer, Barry Cohen, said Porter was too scared to stop after the accident. Porter was not immediately charged.
