Five-Year-Old Child Dies Following Drowning Incident
At approximately 6:00 a.m. on Saturday, July 4, 2026, the Geneva County Sheriff’s Office and Samson EMS responded to a 911 call reporting the drowning of a five-year-old child at a residence in western Geneva County near Kingston.
When emergency personnel arrived, family members were performing CPR. The child was transported to Mizell Memorial Hospital in Opp, where lifesaving efforts continued. Despite those efforts, the child was pronounced deceased at the hospital.
The child will be transported to the Alabama Department of Forensic Sciences, where an autopsy will be performed to determine the official cause and manner of death.
“This is a heartbreaking tragedy. As families enjoy the holiday weekend, I encourage everyone to pay special attention to children, especially around pools, ponds, lakes, and other bodies of water. Although the circumstances surrounding drowning deaths are unique in every case, constant supervision around water is one of the most important steps parents and caregivers can take to help prevent tragedies like this.”
On behalf of the Geneva County Coroner’s Office, I ask that everyone keep this child’s family and loved ones in your thoughts and prayers during this incredibly difficult time.
BRUNDIDGE: Reports of three people. Shot in Brundidgr. Working on details at this time.
Ulane Liptrot Jamison has been Brundidge Police Chief since March 2026. Efforts to contact her have been unsuccessful.
UPDATED @ 5:20 AM
Made contact with Brundidge Police Chief Chief Jamison. She confirmed three people shot but are not dead. When asked was case being worked by Brundidge Police and Pike County Sheriff Department, she replied yes and no more information could be released because they were still working the scene.
RSN has later learned that Chief Jamison is not working the case with Pike County Sheriff Department.
Jamison was an Alabama State Trooper prior to her appointment as Brundidge Police Chief. Troopers are not primary investigators of firearm assaults. They normally work motor vehicle accidents and traffic control. Normally the Sheriff of the county is called in to assist smaller departments in the investigation of major crimes. The Chief did not say who was assisting in the investigation.
KINSEY: On Friday Houston County 911 dispatched Kinsey Police, Kinsey Volunteer Fire and Headland Volunteer Fire to El Camino Drive to a vehicle fire with a structure in danger.
Kinsey Police Chief Jim Mock quickly jumped in the telephone booth and changed from Police Chief to Fireman and began fighting the fire. JUST KIDDING – no phone booths like Superman but he did drop gunbelt and suited in fire suit to begin fighting the fire and assisting the volunteers on their arrival.
Fro my UNOFFICIAL understanding, the windows were down and fireworks entered the vehicle and caught the vehicle on fire.
