Both boys were pronounced dead at the scene. Their identities will be released by the Marion County coroner's office.

'œBeing a parent, I can't imagine the heartache the parents are feeling at the loss of children under the age of 16,'ť IMPD Major Kerry Buckner told WXIN-TV.

The station reported that during its the investigation, IMPD used drones to canvas the park and make sure no one else was injured.
