PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Two men carjacked a woman at gunpoint but soon sped out of control, killing three children Friday as they plowed into a group selling fruit to raise money for their church, Philadelphia police said.

Two women, including the mother of the three siblings killed, were critically injured.

"Three innocent children had their lives taken," Philadelphia Homicide Capt. John Clark said of the victims, ages 7, 10 and 15.

The victims were struck late Friday morning about a mile from where the carjacking occurred. Police were looking for the suspects, who fled on foot.
