Tampa
An elementary-school dance teacher this week admitted that she was one of several hit-and-run drivers suspected of plowing into four children from the same family as they crossed a Tampa street. Two of the children, a 13-year-old boy and his 3-year-old brother, were killed. Witnesses at a nearby park told police that two cars and a van had hit the children. Their mother, Lisa Wilkins, had begged the drivers to confess, but heard nothing for five days, until Jennifer Porter, 28, came forward. “I’m sorry, so sorry,” Porter said in a news conference at her lawyer’s office. “I wish there was more that I could say to ease your pain.”
